Notable Features of FaceApp

The USP of FaceApp lies in its super interesting neural face transformations that allow you to make multiple face alterations.

  • TheĀ Gender Swap featureĀ of the app, for instance, shows what you would look like if you were of the opposite sex.

  • Ever wondered what itā€™s like to be a celebrity? Now you can getĀ celebrity transformationsĀ with Heisenberg filters and many other mind-blowing transformations available on the photo morphing app.
  • Try differentĀ face tattoo filtersĀ including Tribal, Ethnic, Arrows, Anchor, Stars, Lightning, Tear and other tattoos.
  • Spice up your pictures byĀ replacing boring image backgroundĀ with a scenic sunset, Eiffel tower, Manhattan Skyscrapers, the Himalayas and several other double-tap worthy image backgrounds.

If you opt for Pro packages, FaceApp offers premium filters in almost every feature. FaceApp also omits the FaceApp watermark from your processed photos and you get an Ad-free experience.

The app is free to download and you can download it from Google Play Store and Apple App Store. To alter a picture with FaceApp:

  • Use the filters and save the image.

Our Take

As youā€™ll see it for yourself, FaceApp, without doubt, is one of the best selfie apps that combinesĀ the best of gender-swap apps, face aging, andĀ face changingĀ apps, with all the powerful features of the best photo editor apps.

But the appā€™s Terms and Conditions, that most people are unaware of, have raised serious security concerns. Users are required to provide full, irrevocable access to their personal photos and data, and when they do that the app also gets the right to modify, reproduce and publish any of the images processed on the AI Photo Editor App.

Mobile Apps in todayā€™s time are no longer just services but a whole ecosystem of services.
