Global smartphone shipments are estimated to reach 1.5 billion units, nearly a 7 percent increase from 2015. Moreover, the entire mobile phone market is predicted to stand at 1.9 billion units.

FaceApp utilizes neural networks for transforming your face’s appearance and allows altering expressions such as adding smiles, making it look old or like a child.
