What does "Age Filter" mean?
An age filter shows your face decades older, with gray or white hair, wrinkles and softer skin, while keeping your features. FaceApp's old-age filter set off the #FaceAppChallenge in July 2019, Snapchat added its Time Machine lens that November, and TikTok's Aged filter spread on TikTok from July 8, 2023, when a mom's reaction video drew millions of plays. Ours makes an older you from one photo, for adults only.
