FaceApp changes your race with its latest selfie-editing filters (update)
FaceApp uses neural networks for realistic-looking changes to your selfie photos. Originally, it had filters to add smiles, change your age, change gender or "beautify" your face.

Now, a new update adds race to the mix, with an update to enable users to make themselves look Asian, Black, Caucasian or Indian.
