Race Filters

On August 9th, 2017, the application was updated with new Asian, Black, Caucasian and Indian race filters.

That day, The Verge[9] published an article about the new filters, which included a statement from FaceApp CEO Yaraslav Goncharov, who claimed the race filters were not using biased or prejudice:

"The ethnicity change filters have been designed to be equal in all aspects. They don’t have any positive or negative connotations associated with them. They are even represented by the same icon. In addition to that, the list of those filters is shuffled for every photo, so each user sees them in a different order."

Reception

On April 14th, 2017, Twitter user @TheEricTables[4] posted several photographs of "The Undertaker": edited with the smiling FaceApp filter (shown below).

On April 18th, the gaming news blog GamesRadar[6] posted several pictures of various video game characters edited by FaceApp to appear as if they were smiling. On April 22nd, Redditor J_Deedubze_W posted a set of FaceApp edits using a picture of the character Foster Addison from Mass Effect: Andromeda (shown below). Within 48 hours, the post gained over 1,000 (93% upvoted) and 65 comments on /r/masseffect.[7]
