Apps that transform our selfies into aged versions are becoming increasingly popular. But what's behind this trend? Why are we fascinated to see what we will be like when we are older? And what can these apps tell us about the future of technology?

1. FaceApp: the pioneer

Launched in 2017, FaceApp was the first app to offer a photo aging tool. Since then, it has become an instant success, with millions of users around the world. The secret to your success? The artificial intelligence technology it uses to transform images. The app is capable of recognizing a person's face and applying a series of filters that simulate the effects of aging.

2. AgingBooth: the fun app

AgingBooth was created by PiVi & Co, a photo editing and gaming app development company. In addition to the aging function, the app also offers options to beautify the face and add makeup. With its more relaxed and exaggerated approach, AgingBooth is especially popular among young people who want to see what they will look like in the future and also try out different styles and looks. The application has also been used in advertising campaigns and films, as a way of creating comical and fun images of aging characters. 

3. Oldify: the facial recognition app

Oldify is an app that uses artificial intelligence algorithms to create a realistic representation of what you will be like when you are older. In addition to being able to apply wrinkles and gray hair, the app is capable of simulating the appearance of spots and other age marks. But what really makes Oldify stand out is its animation function, which simulates changing facial expression and eye movement, making the transformation even more realistic. 

This feature allows users to see what their facial expressions will look like when they get older, which can be quite impressive. Oldify also allows users to share their aged photos on social media, which could lead to a significant increase in the app's popularity. 

4. Face Story: the aging and beautification app

Face Story is an application that has been widely used by those who want to improve the appearance of their photos. In addition to allowing users to see how they will look in the future, the application also has a wide variety of filters that can be applied to improve the current appearance. 

Photo aging is one of the app's most popular functions, but it also offers other options, such as the ability to add makeup, change eye and hair color, among other beautification functions. Face Story has been used not only for personal purposes, but also by professionals working in photography and fashion

5. Aging Booth Face Changer: the app for fun

Aging Booth Face Changer is an app for anyone who wants to have fun with aging photos. It allows users to add gray hair, wrinkles and other aged features in an exaggerated way, creating an almost cartoonish image. It's a fun option for anyone who wants to try something new and play with their appearance.
