AI photo editor FaceApp shows you what you’ll look like as you age

Ever wanted to know how you’ll age? Now there’s an app for that.

FaceApp, Launched in 2017 isn’t new. But it’s highlighting again because the app has gotten good — like, eerily well — at showing their users how they’ll look like when they age.

It’s creepy, so use at your own risk. Or, take a look through Twitter or Instagram to see how others have turned out years into the future.

Dwyane Wade Basketball star gave it a go — or, in this case, retired basketball star?

Now see how it allows you to pick photos without giving photo access to the app. You can see a video of this behavior here:

And rapper Drake got in on the elderly action (though it isn’t clear if he used FaceApp to do it).

The app uses artificial neural networks — a type of artificial intelligence — to edit the photos.

And it can do more than just age you. The app can literally put a smile on your face, make you look younger, or exchange your gender, too.
