FaceApp is a photo-morphing app that allows the user to transform faces captured on camera using a range of filters.
The developers describe the process as using ‘artificial intelligence’ and ‘neural face transformations’.
Although it was first released in 2017, FaceApp gained popularity last year thanks to the #faceappchallenge, which saw celebrities and social media user use the ageing setting on the app to imagine what they might look like in the later years of their life.
Other features allow the user to change an individual’s hair colour, facial hair or even make he or she look younger.
For the royal photos, @dianafanatic used a setting that allows the user to swap the individual’s gender.
There have been concerns raised over the security risks of the app, which requires access to a user’s camera roll.
FaceApp is also allowed to use your name, username ‘or any likeness provided’ in any media format without compensation and you won’t have any ability to take it down or complain about it, reports claim.
It also will not compensate you for this material and it will retain the image long after you’ve deleted the app.
Social media users went wild after the images were shared online yesterday
