Face app experiences

[Kelli321]

I’m curious what others experiences are with face app. Is it even close at guessing what you’d look like as a woman? .. I did it and I can definitely see me in the photo, in fact I started crying even, if that is even close to what I can grow into.. don’t wanna get my hopes up though

[Maid In Bedlam]

Not an experiance. As I would NEVER use such an instument.

 

Not because of the potential legal implications. I doubt if they have changed the T&C's in the favor of the user since this was last spoken about in here But because of the false sense of what you could be. Granted you may see some of you in there. This is because the template was your own face.

 

 

Heres the terms and conditions that makes the most of what you give them.

Further, FaceApp does not claim ownership of any User Content that you post on or through the Services. You grant FaceApp a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, fully paid license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, create derivative works from, distribute, perform and display your User Content during the term of this Agreement solely to provide you with the Services.

 

So what it basically means is. You can keep the original content. Thats your face. But you give them the right and this is forever to use the picture you create to use  as they see fit.

 

 

I  also wrote some on this before regarding the terms and conditions. Save you searching let me give you an insight.

So say for instance just as a senario. You are in your own closet. Faceapp can use your picture of you as male or female whichever the case maybe on a bill board across the road from you for all to see and there is not a darn thing you can do about it. To top that they do not even have to pay you royalitys for said use.

 

 

So just be careful what you knowing or unknowningly agree to. Read the small print.

 

Section 4 if your interested

 

 

 

if you use face app or such like then good luck to you. But do not forget they do not make these apps just so a person can see what they look like as whatever. They do it to make money. never be under the illusion they do it because they are kind and would never do anything to harm anyone. There goal is just to build up a nice fat bank balance. I have been in the corperate world for a while. Its not a place for the faint hearted at times as they will walk all over you if its in there interest. Remember Cambridge Analytica? Data harvesting for there own personal gain. Its much the same but Cambridge Analytica was asking questions disguised as a personality quiz to suck your personal information out of you.

 

Also:

 

Dont expect you are ever going to look like how the app shows what you will look like if you go through the process of a real world transition. Sorry to shatter anyones dreams but thats the way it is.

 

Again show me someone who looks as face app showed them after a transition. I will concede and eat humble pie by the metric ton.

I have never used it but, although tweaked things a bit in programs like Gimp from time to time (normal offline photo editing), more usually like to play with makeup when I get the time as the results can be used when going out (at least the sensible ones lol). My opinion of most of the resulting photos, which are are often of teenage girls, is that they smooth the skin etc to make someone look much younger. I would doubt anything other than major cosmetic surgery would make such a difference and that would be risky, very expensive and, in the long run, a temporary result as skin continues to age. In my opinion such programs are designed to apeal to the vanity of the user and also as Maid in Bedlam implies, actually get the company a database of mugshots as they can probably easily reverse the process to get the original picture (which may well be stored at the beginning anyway).

Oh well .... lol

Have seen a number of people post on Twitter that they think they looked better than FaceApp predicted before and after transition. 

 

Luckily no billboards across the street from me yet, let alone one with my faceapp pics on it.

They wasnt from Russia was they? As thats where the app origintes from St Petersburg to be precise.

[LusciousTheLock]

I've used it, and was horrified by the results. It aged me twenty years!  No I didn't likee lol. Snapchat filters are much more flattering haha.

[rainflower]

I make an effort to avoid things like FaceApp and don't even have snapchat. I don't alter or touch up any of my photos. I make it a point to put myself out there so as not to mislead people and make someone else feel bad about themselves. The filtered/face app pics I've seen are pretty cringe. Like someone takes a selfie, runs it thru face app, then posts it all proud, "look at me!" Then they go on being depressed that they don't look like that. 

So no, you likely won't grow into whatever face app gives you. But that is not a bad thing. Whatever you get will be good and you can be happy with the results.

Hi @Kelli321  I view those kind of things as just for entertainment. When I did the FaceApp I got this. Real me on the left and face app me on the right. Nothing alike or even close. I really wish I looked like that. Lol

[Kelli321]

Since I’m not out yet this is what came out. Aside from the narrower jaw and the hair it’s pretty close.. I will have facial feminization to be sure,  just for my own self image and how I see myself as but I feel it’s within the realm of possibility .... if anything, I can look at that face and not see a complete stranger... seems fun anyhow... 

[HollyElizabeth]

Don’t get me wrong, those apps are OK and they do make people feel good, it’s just that they can’t predict with any accuracy what someone will look like. I talked with a plastic surgeon on the phone and she told me that even the best plastic surgeon in the world can’t make you look exactly like the person in the photo. I know I about cried when she told me that. Anyway, these apps are fun to play with and if it makes you feel better than you shouldn’t stop using them. I think if it makes you happy, do it. Lol

[Kelli321]

It gives me a little hope. Though I’ll be wearing wigs for the rest of my days.. lol.. though it’ll be nice to be proud of my “female” hips and butt instead of being the butt of jokes ... at least I have that going for me ;-p

[HollyElizabeth]

Kelli, I hope I didn't discourage you. That wasn't my intention, not at all. I just wanted to point out that they shouldn't be your only go to for how you want to look. I haven't seen the real you but I can bet you are absolutely beautiful. I just wanted you to know that you don't need any app to tell you how you should want to look. And as far as having to wear a wig, well, my hair is thinning on top and I am going to be living with wigs until I die. There are more than a few friends here that have to do the same. And don't get me started on hips and my butt. Still waiting on those to develop. The only thing I see happening is that my "man" belly is slowly going away, THANK GOD! lol!

I agree with this. Lifes far to short. The point i was making is. Just be careful what you sign up for and if it may have concequences good or bad then be preapared for them.

 

I would still never use it myself as maybe I wouldnt be able to take the fact that i could find myself on the back of a milk carton or in a russian catalogue for sex toys or even something more ghastly and not get paid or get any positive credit for it.  Sad as it may seem none of this is done from the goodness of someones heart but all for profit. Plus dont expect you will look like how an app depicts you. As @Holly Elizabeth says, no plastic surgeon in the world is going to be able to give you the results you have been shown. So be able to handle that news. Its not really going to happen. Playing with these things can give you a false hope situation. No one needs or wants that. I always thought I was going to have the looks of audrey hepburn and a body to match.  How disilusioned was I? and i aslo agree. @Kelli321 you picture looks awesome

Thalk about being disillusioned, I wanted to look like Anna Nicole Smith, but in real life I look like nothing close to how she looked.. lol

[HollyElizabeth]

For those that don't remember what she looked like. I was crushed. lol

[Kelli321]

Believe me, I’m a realist. I truly appreciate the feedback. Until I came here I was totally lost and now I feel encouraged. That I’m having conversation with the very people who’s example I wish to follow, and being accepted into this community of amazing and courageous women has done more for me mentally and spiritually in the last few weeks than the rest of my life combined. 
It gives me a lot of hope!  Though I’ll be wearing wigs for the rest of my days,  at least I’ll have great looking hair again lol.. and it’ll be nice to be proud of my “female” hips and butt instead of being the butt of jokes ...  I’ll have that going for me ?

Just remember Kelli Every persons transition is unique to them. Consider it more a guide. What i did and what happened to me personally will be a little diffrent to what others may have experianced. The emotions, The life experiances, The expectations Etc etc. Follow your own heart but while on that road you may see signs and milestones dotted about what have been left by others before you. Some will aid you towald your own emerald city. Watch out for the witches and stick to the path. You will make it if you want to.

 

As far as wigs are concerned your are not alone. I was lucky enough to have almost all my hair when i came to the start of my path. Some are abot in the same position. You do what you have to.  Or you could go forwald in the style of @LusciousTheLock and enjoy it. But whatever you do give it your personal best.

 

[LusciousTheLock]

I would never use a snapchat filter... 

[LusciousTheLock]

I think I'm immune to the faceapp thingy... Sweaty me versus the feminine version... Apparently.  

 

[HollyElizabeth]

Wanna know why it didn't work for you. It knows it cant do anything to fix perfection..

[LusciousTheLock]

Lol. I wish    I tried the long hair option, and it did give me long hair... And a bald top! Right. That app can be deleted hehe.

[Kelli321]

LuciousTheLock I’m in love with your pentacle necklace and you totally rock the smooth head, I think Persis Khambatta would be jealous?

Awe, thanks. If only I could have the bloomin prickly stuff stop growing on my face. Just about scrape through an 8hr shift at work. Shaving everyday does get sore. I tend to let myself go a bit at weekends. Roll on the Laser shops reopening!

I used Faceapp for a bit of fun and this was the result.

 

But honestly, I think I prefer my profile picture which is all me, with just a little photomagic makeup.
