Faceu
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
FaceU (Chinese: 激萌) is a camera app for smartphones running Android[1] or Apple iOS[2] that edits portrait photographs, typically selfies. This app uses AR technology to allow users to add stickers or interesting and exaggerated effects in real-time when taking selfies and videos. It was launched in 2016 and had 250 million registered users in 2017. Most of the users of Faceu are females from 15 to 35 years old.[3][4] In February 2018, Faceu was acquired by Chinese media startup Toutiao, which is worth about $300 million.[5][6] The app was banned in India (along with other Chinese apps) on 2 September 2020 by the government, the move came amid the 2020 China-India skirmish.[7][8]
