FaceApp facial transformer
FaceApp is a mobile-based app that enables users to transform their facial photographs, enabling them to appear younger or older, add a smile, facial hair or glasses, change eye colour, hairstyle or gender, or become 'hot'. Released in January 2017, the app quickly became popular, with over a million people downloading it in the two weeks after its launch. In March 2023, FaceApp had over 500 million downloads, according to its website.
