If you’ve been on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp Stories or any other internet service that lets you share photos, you may have seen the name FaceApp, or at least saw some images of people morphed into younger and older versions of themselves.
FaceApp was founded in 2017 by Wireless Lab, a company based in St Petersburg, Russia.
That year, the app was widely criticized for “racist” selfie filters; an option labelled as “hot” seemingly lightened users’ skin tones.
The results are somewhat convincing and rather entertaining.
App development like FaceApp creates huge buzz as well as downloads because of its brilliantly concepted idea, but when it comes to privacy, secrecy, and cybersecurity- these kinds of brilliant apps may come under some security breaches and starts losing its coverage from the market.
You should use a highly secure and end-to-end encryption process, like TLS or SSL encryption, when users send essential information.
