Here are all the steps you need to follow to use FaceApp’s old-age filter:

Open the FaceApp app on your smartphone. You will have four options. You can tap on ‘Gallery’ to upload an image, on ‘Facebook’ icon to get a picture from the social media platform, ‘Celebrities’ to look for images of famous people and a ‘Camera’ icon to click an image to use with the filter.

Smile and Smile 2 will add a smile to your photo, ‘Young’ will make your face look younger, ‘Old’ will make your face appear older, ‘Female’ will add female features to your face and ‘Male’ will add male features. To get the old-age filter, click on the ‘Old’ icon. Tap on the Save icon to get the image to your Gallery.
