This filter feature is available in the "Time Album" app, where users need to register and upload photos to the cloud. This aspect requires special attention; if you’re concerned about photo privacy, use it with caution. Once downloaded, simply select a photo, then tap the “Makoto Shinkai” watercolor palette icon (resembling a magic wand), and the app will apply a filter that transforms your image into the distinct "Your Name" art style. This is expected to spark a new wave of Shinkai-style travel photo sharing.
