Dear Meta Team,

We are reaching out to you as part of the community of effect creators for Instagram and Facebook through Spark AR. We have invested countless hours of study, creativity, and effort to develop effects that have been enjoyed by millions of people worldwide.

The recent news about the removal of Spark AR and the published effects has deeply affected us. These effects not only represent our work, but also a form of creative expression that has connected users, creators, and artists in unique ways.

We understand that all platforms evolve, but we respectfully request that you reconsider the decision to delete the published effects and at least keep Spark AR operational for updating and improving the existing effects.

Our effects are not just digital files; they are the result of dreams, dedication, and, in many cases, the livelihood of many creators. The followers of these effects, along with us, want them to remain part of the Instagram and Facebook experience.

We are grateful for the opportunities Spark AR has provided us, and we ask that you consider this petition to prevent the existing effects from disappearing, allowing creators to continue updating them and offering new experiences to users.

Thank you for your attention and for supporting creativity.

Sincerely,
Sofi V.
Spark AR Community
