One thing that FaceApp does do, however, is it uploads your photo to the cloud for processing. It does not do on-device processing like Apple's first party app does and like it enables for third parties through its ML libraries and routines. This is not made clear to the user.

Everyone out here using #FaceApp to take pictures forgets that FaceApp NOW owns their face and can do whatever the hell the want with it. AKA facial recognition technology, selling it for ads and beyond. WHY DO YOU PEOPLE GIVE OUT YOUR DATA LIKE THIS. https://t.co/jBYwTQ92YR
