While the FaceApp gives a good laugh, many users have shown concerns about the app’s privacy clauses. It has been said that the app will grant the creators full access to your photos and permission to reuse the photos.
However, this speculation has been denied by the creators of the app that claimed only the original pictures you have uploaded goes to the company’s server to create the aged version and will be deleted from the servers after 48 hours.
Eager to meet your future self? The FaceApp is available on iOS here and Android here.
