How to get TikTok’s viral ‘aged’ filter

TikTok users are losing their minds over the platform’s hyper-realistic ‘aged’ filter, which shows how you’ll look like when you’re decades older. Here’s how to get it.

Short-form video app TikTok is renowned for its ingenious range of filters that enable users to dramatically transform their appearances.

Earlier this year, users were going viral for trying out a popular ‘old age’ effect from FaceApp. Now, TikTok has its own aging AI filter, which lets you peer into the future, providing a sneak peek of what you might look like five decades down the line.

This ‘aged’ effect fast-forwards you through time, presenting an older version of yourself, complete with wrinkles and other signs of aging. It also compares this vision with your current appearance, offering a chilling comparison of the aging process.

The AI analyzes your facial structure and applies aging algorithms to your features to create a surprisingly accurate portrayal of your older self. Here’s how to use the hyper-realistic filter.
