How to use the viral FaceApp to grow 'old'
After the viral Bottle Cap Challenge, influencers have got another weird thing to be obsessed over - an app that shows how you would look in old age. Celebrities, sportspersons, and even your friends are flooding social media platforms with these 'old person' photographs created with the so-called FaceApp. Let's know more about the app and its working.
What is FaceApp?
FaceApp is an app for Android and iOS that lets you transform your facial features using the power of artificial intelligence. The program offers a number of effects to modify, even transform, your face, including the one that's been going viral over the last few days - the age filter. It shows three different versions of your face, two young and one considerably older.
Additional Instagram and Snapchat-style filters
Apart from showing how you'd look as an old person, the app also offers filters to swap races and genders, meaning a guy could use the app to see how they would look like a girl or vice versa. There are also many Snapchat and Instagram style filters; you could try babyface or see how different hairstyles, beards would look on you.
Using the app and its filters is also pretty easy
In order to use the app, head over to Googe Play Store or Apple App Store (depending on your device) and download FaceApp. Launch the program and give requested permissions to fetch all photos from the gallery. Finally, tap on a high-quality photo featuring your face to get the options for applying filters on it.
You can pick age, hair filters
After tapping, the app's neural engine processes the image using the internet and loads all the filters. From here, you can easily scroll through the options to see your future self, younger self, female self or blonde/bearded look. However, do note that not all filters are free; some would require you to go Pro at Rs. 133/month.
Option to search trending 'old person' photos
Notably, the app also features a 'Celebs' section which you can use to search and explore old-aged photographs of celebrities, sportspersons, actors, and others. There is also an option to connect your Facebook profile and share directly on the platform.
FaceApp's accuracy is unparalleled
The accuracy of FaceApp filters makes the app deserving of all the attention it's getting as you really get a peek at your future. It's a fun alternative for Snapchat, but we recommend taking a look at the app's terms before using it. They say uploading your photo would give the company behind it a never-ending and irrevocable royalty-free license to use it.
