FaceApp is a free mobile application available in the App and Google Play stores. Using artificial intelligence, the app creates realistic transformations of faces using various filters and features.

"We developed a new technology that uses neural networks to modify a face on any photo while keeping it photorealistic. For example, it can add a smile, change gender and age, or just make you more attractive," founder and CEO Yaroslav Goncharov toldAnd Goncharov explains that the fact that FaceApp is so realistic is what sets it apart from any of its competition.

"Our main differentiator is photorealism," he said."After applying a filter, it is still your photo. Other apps intentionally change a picture in a way it is entertaining, but not a real photo anymore." You can either take a photo through the app's camera functionality, or get one from your pre-existing gallery. However for security reasons, be wary of any app that asks for access into your personal gallery. FaceApp, like most apps, has a privacy page detailing how they use user content. There, the app does admit that they"may share User Content and your information with businesses that are legally part of the same group of companies that FaceApp is.

"We also may share your information as well as information from tools like cookies, log files, and device identifiers and location data, with third-party organizations that help us provide the Service to you," the privacy policy continues. This is normal for many apps, but if it's something that deters you, maybe just download it for a bit, and then scrap it when you're done.
