FaceApp became the Most Downloaded App in the App Store

FaceApp AI-powered photo editing app becomes most downloaded in the world on iOS AppStore and for many areas it is on top in Free apps at Android Play Store.

This was announced by the founder of the popular visual editor Jaroslav Goncharov on his page on Facebook.

“Today, FaceApp is the first among all free iPhone applications and games in 154 countries out of 155!” He said.

Previously, “Moika 78 (a russion news website)” wrote that recently the application has gained tremendous success. So, on social networks, the #faceappchallenge flash mob is gaining popularity.

At the same time, American and German politicians have already expressed fears that the Russian app has very vague conditions of use, and in fact, people voluntarily transfer a picture of themselves or of another person who can be biometrically analyzed to a third, unknown party. And there is a risk that the photo will fall into the wrong hands.

• Update: some FaceApp Alternatives are also going viral.

The leader of the US Senate Democratic Party, Chuck Schumer, even asked the FBI and the Federal Trade Commission to check FaceApp for threats to national security.
