In the free FaceApp for iPhone, you can age, rejuvenate, smile, or transform faces into the opposite gender at the touch of a button.
The dealer may pay a commission for links on this page, eg for links marked with or green underlining.
More info.
To give faces a new look, you can either take a photo or select an image from the Camera Roll. After a short upload to the FaceApp servers, you have six filters available that make you look prettier, younger, older or laughing. You can also try out what you would have looked like in the opposite sex.
FaceApp offers the possibility to create a collage with four different pictures.
FaceApp Pro: Full version completely overpriced
However, if you want to use all the features of FaceApp, you have to dig deep into your pocket. Because only the Pro version offers you all the filters to retouch and apply makeup. Future filter updates and watermark removal are also only available in the paid version. And this costs a one-time fee of 44 euros or a subscription of 20 euros per year.
Is FaceApp dangerous?
FaceApp is fun, but it also comes with a privacy risk. By using it, you allow FaceApp the unlimited use of the uploaded photos. You must also allow the app access to your complete photo album before you start it for the first time.
How do I cancel FaceApp Pro?
The Pro features of the FaceApp are outrageously expensive at a one-time fee of 44 euros or 20 euros per year. Our advice: Stay away from the purchase version, the free version is enough to try it out. Anyone who has taken out the 3-day trial subscription and wants to cancel can do so directly in the iPhone App Store. Click on your profile picture and “Subscriptions”. All completed subscriptions are listed in this overview. You also have the option of canceling the subscription.
What FaceApp alternatives are there?
A good alternative to FaceApp is MSQRD, for example. Here, too, you can use live masks, filters and effects to polish up or alienate your appearance and then send it via social media. You can find more app alternatives directly at CHIP.
How can I delete my transferred data on FaceApp?
The FaceApp makers offer the option of requesting a complete deletion of their transmitted data. To do this, open the FaceApp, switch to the app settings via the gear icon at the top left and then click on “Support”. You can then enter that you want your data to be deleted. If you now click on “Report”, an email will be generated for support. Add the term “privacy” to the subject line. According to the manufacturer, the process will soon be simplified.
Is FaceApp also available for the PC?
No, so far the makers of FaceApp have been concentrating on the two mobile operating systems Android and iOS.

CHIP conclusion
CHIP Conclusion on FaceApp: face editing iPhone / iPad app
The app offers a fun twist on the faceswap apps, but it can only put filters over the faces. Unfortunately, you can still clearly see from the finished images that the image has been post-processed. Another point of criticism is that it is not possible to understand what exactly happens to the uploaded images. Because the filters are manipulated on the manufacturer servers and not on the local device. The developer keeps a low profile when it comes to data protection.
The comparatively expensive Pro version, which you can unlock with an in-app purchase, ensures that the app is displayed without advertising, does not show any watermarks and works a little faster.
