Old-Age FaceApp Challenge Goes Viral: Everything You Need To Know

The FaceApp is back, and it has been added to the list of viral challenges that are taking social media by storm. The app which was first introduced in 2017, has caught the eye of many celebrities that are posting old age photos of themselves, complete with wrinkles and graying hair.

Celebrities such as Drake, Lil Nas X, Kevin Hart, and the Jonas Brothers are using the FaceApp, which allows users to essentially go into the future to create a photo of themselves as they would look when they are 60, 70 or even 80 years old. The photos are being shared on social media with the hashtag #FaceApp.

FaceApp was started by a small design team in Russia. The mobile app uses a series of filters and features, which has been updated since its initial launch two years ago. With the free version, users are able to select from an array of filter options, including the old age one that is going viral.

To use the 4.5 star-rated app, users can select a photo from their photo gallery and alter the picture using its filters. To create the old age photos as well as any other filtered images, the app uses artificial intelligence, which allows it to edit the photo and create the resulting image.

With the “old” option, users are given three versions of their face – two young and one that looks old. The filter changes a photo in a matter of seconds and can be downloaded in the Apple App Store or on Google Play for Android devices.
