Over 150 million people worldwide recently downloaded the very popular FaceApp after Hollywood celebrities started posting images of their edited faces in a social media challenge using the hashtag, #OldAgeChallenge. The challenge was simply to age your face using FaceApp and then post the image on twitter, facebook, or instagram using the hashtag.

FaceApp uses artificial intelligence technology to automatically generate highly realistic transformations of faces in photographs. It can generate an older or younger version of yourself as seen in the Challenge or even transform your face to make it change gender or look like a Hollywood star. Needless to say, every Joe and Jane Soap with a smartphone is too curious not to find out how they will look as an oldie which has meant mass popularity of the Challenge.
