Despite having gone viral in 2017, FaceApp is doing so again, but do users need to worry about their privacy? Perhaps not, according to researchers.
Share to twitterFaceApp is a massively popular face-altering app for Android and iOS, but there are privacy concerns about its AI tech.No, FaceApp isn't taking photos of your face and taking them back to Russia for some nefarious project. At least that's what current evidence suggests.
But one tweet set of a minor internet panic this week, when a developer warned that the app could be taking all the photos from your phone and uploading them to its servers without any obvious permission from the user. that this was true, the servers for FaceApp.io were based in Amazon data centers in the U.S. And, as noted by Alderson, the app also uses third party code, and so will reach out to their servers, but again these are based in the U.S. and Australia.Of course, given the developer company is based in St. Petersburg, the faces will be viewed and processed in Russia.
