They'll just use photo apps with filters and upload from their gallery. They're not about to show anyone what they actually look like but they also aren't going to quit posting.
- pretty sure a lot of phones come with 'blemish filters' already built in
  
  Mine does this with no way to turn it off. If I want to get fine detail in a picture I need to use a third party camera app because the blemish filter likes to turn trees or grass into mush
  
  If I don't appear perfect, I'm not humaaaan!!!
Just the third party filters are getting the axe, the ones from Meta are staying.

Filters will not be going away altogether on Instagram. First-party filters created by Meta will continue to be available. The offering of filters available on Instagram’s official account (140 at present) is insignificant compared to the library of millions of filters created by third-parties. Instagram’s official filters also offer less diverse types of AR experiences, and its account does not feature any beautifying filters.
