No amount of moisturizer or how many times you tell yourself that “Asian don’t raisin” can save you from the power of the aging feature on FaceApp.
If you have been on Instagram or Twitter over the past couple of days, you’ve probably noticed plenty of gray hairs and wrinkly skin while scrolling through your timelines.
No, it is not because your friends or favorite celebrities aged in their sleep or went through a time machine like (SPOILERS) Captain America in “Avengers: Endgame.”
They’ve been using the FaceApp, which is available to download for free from the Apple App Store and Google Play for Android.
The app first went viral two years ago, but the recent old age filter update has made it on the trending list on social media once more.
FaceApp was developed by a small team in Saint-Petersburg, Russia, according to TechCrunch.
We’ve compiled 15 Asian and Asian American celebrities and put them through FaceApp’s old age filter.

Support our Journalism with a Contribution
Many people might not know this, but despite our large and loyal following which we are immensely grateful for, NextShark is still a small bootstrapped startup that runs on no outside funding or loans.Everything you see today is built on the backs of warriors who have sacrificed opportunities to help give Asians all over the world a bigger voice.
However, we still face many trials and tribulations in our industry, from figuring out the most sustainable business model for independent media companies to facing the current COVID-19 pandemic decimating advertising revenues across the board.
We hope you consider making a contribution so we can continue to provide you with quality content that informs, educates and inspires the Asian community. Even a $1 contribution goes a long way. Thank you for everyone’s support. We love you all and can’t appreciate you guys enough.
