What's your favorite Instagram filter? If you live in the United Arab Emirates or Saudi Arabia, it seems nothing might be the answer.

Instagram has released their yearly report and for 2017 it includes just how people like to present themselves on the social media platform. While people in the UAE love Clarendon, Gingham, Juno and Lark to enhance their features or images of their favorite things, it seems they prefer to leave their pictures as it is once they upload to Instagram. Now it doesn't factor in whether people have simply used another app to edit their photographs but they findings still say a lot about the country's Instagram habits.

The top 10 filters looked very similar for Saudi Arabia, except the Hefe and Nashville filters featured instead of Amaro and Lo-fi.
