Faceapp gained viral popularity after it was released in 2017 as it allows you to add a filter to change your appearance. Users have the option to apply filters to appear younger, older, or even change their hairstyle.

Since she uploaded the video, it appears that the claims that she’s altered her appearance have basically disappeared.

This isn’t the first time a TikToker has received backlash after posting a picture or video, and it’s unlikely that it will be the last.
