After McDonalds added the Grimace Shake to their menu, the food item became an almost overnight sensation on TikTok. Due to the meme's popularity, a filter was added to TikTok that features a large image of a Grimace Shake. A popular way to use this filter is to use it like a censor bar to cover parts of the body, which has prompted some TikTok users to ask if it's possible to remove the Grimace Shake filter from someone else's TikTok. In this article we'll go over in which ways you can remove the Grimace Shake filter from a TikTok.

Things You Should Know

  • The Grimace Shake filter (or any filter) cannot be removed after the TikTok has been posted.
  • If you added the Grimace Shake filter to a TikTok you're editing, pinch the image of the shake until a trash can icon appears.
  • Tap the trash can icon to remove the Grimace Shake filter from your own TikTok.

    • Many users who claim they can remove the Grimace Shake filter are simply using AI to reconstruct the image or video to see what's underneath.

      Warnings

      • Laws vary by region, state, and country, but in the United States it's illegal to use the likeness of another person without their consent for commercial gain, and in some states it's also illegal to do this for personal gain. [1] Downloading someone else's video or image and using AI to edit it, especially if the resulting edited video or image is exploitative, may be illegal and could result in legal action. Make sure to research your local and state/regional laws.
