It’s no secret that FaceApp caused a social media frenzy this year. Just about everyone you know from your best friend to celebrities like Carrie Underwood used the photo-editing mobile app to create and share selfies of their younger and much older-looking selves thanks to the summer’s “FaceApp Challenge.”
And while the Russian app itself drew scrutiny over privacy concerns, there’s no doubt that FaceApp will continue to be on everyone’s mind this Halloween. Plus, they can’t steal your data if you do the app IRL, right?
All you need are some drawn-on wrinkles, a grey-hair wig and you’ve got the the most timely viral Halloween costume of 2019!
It’s never too early to start planning your 2019 Halloween costume, and making a DIY FaceApp “old lady” costume just might even win you best costume. Not only is it hilarious and relevant, but it’s also easy and affordable to create. You only need a few items!
What Is It
The app itself has been around for some time and occasionally goes viral, like it did for the “Old” filter in 2019. Why? Because the filters can create mind-blowing transformations. It’s uncanny! The bizarrely accurate facial filters can make you look younger, older, etc.
The concern is that Russian developers will use the data captured by the app for more advanced facial recognition in the future–which they deny. The company says that “99 percent of users don’t log in; therefore, we don’t have access to any data that could identify a person,” and any rumored privacy concern clearly didn’t stop celebrities like the Jonas Brothers, Snooki and JWoww and an estimated 12.7M people from downloading the app the week it went viral, and showing off their much-aged selves on Instagram:
