    Yes, yes, I know... "privacy", "personal information", "Russians developed the app", blah blah blah. Whatever. Millions of us did the FaceApp aging "challenge", and I thought I'd start a thread to see if other VMB'ers would get a kick out of sharing photos from it.

    Context for those who are out of the loop: Over the past couple of days, there has been a social media craze in which users download the "FaceApp" app (which can filter a photo of any person to make them look older, younger, or even of the opposite sex), and they post an "after" photo of them, with an "old" filter on it.

    So I took the plunge today and did it... here's me at 26, and I'd guess... 70?

    Anyone else who did this challenge care to share their result? :)

    You're lucky @notfromconcentrate , you'll still be a good looking guy even when older!

    I did mine. I was OK with how I looked older. (even better, hubs said I looked great in the older one too, ever the diplomat.)

    The downer was I tried "younger". It DID show me how I looked younger. I didn't think there was a HUGE difference in my "then and now" (face-wise) , till I ran the younger print. Ack.

    But, I'm (knock on wood) very, very lucky on having a good life, so I might not be as flashy and shiny as I was back in the day, but I wouldn't trade where I am now for some years back, any day.

    Very fun thread!

    I didn't do it, myself, but had a friend do it for me. 42 vs I guess 75-ish?

    When I want to see how I’ll age, I just look at my father.

    @bshowell , I'd say your aged photo is more like 55-60 yo. (I'm a young 60 and you look about my age in it.)

    I'm already 60. What's it going to do?...show me at 100? I could put in a photo of me at 20 and see what it comes up with compared with my current looks. That sounds interesting...but I'm not tech savvy.

    If you put grey hair on your after photo, it reminds me of Dr. Freda Lewis Hall who appears on Dr. Phil.

    According to the BOSTON HERALD, the app is owned by someone in Russia and the small print says that they own the picture forever. You could be selling vodka on a billboard in Moscow.
