If you don’t have dual-camera setup on your mobile then this feature will give you a portrait mode effect and it will softly blur background. The latest update works on the iPhone SE, 6S, 6S Plus, 7, 7 Plus, 8, 8 Plus and X, along with latest Android devices.
However, you can say that Instagram’s focus mode is basically the app’s version of Apple’s Portrait Mode.
