Face Swapping has been removed from FaceApp
editThe article makes reference to FaceApp's face swapping routines. However, This feature has recently been removed from the app. In an email from the FaceApp help team, I received the following explanation:
"As for Face Swap, please note that our developers decided to remove Face Swap because this feature doesn't really line up with our application's development concept." (email received June 8, 2023) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.138.222.70 (talk) 17:13, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

Not done, the current article doesn't appear to imply that FaceApp is Russian, so I don't see that's there's anything to change. If you had a specific edit in mind, please say what it is. --Belbury (talk) 10:35, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- It's about the hint message that appears when you send the FaceApp Wikipedia page link in the Telegram messenger. The hint message states that FaceApp is based in Russia. Sealsyndrome (talk) 09:29, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- The only mention of the term Russia in the Wikipedia article source is that
Yaroslav Goncharov, stated that user data and uploaded images were not being transferred to Russia
, so it sounds like Telegram is getting that information from somewhere else. I don't know where that would be coming from. Belbury (talk) 10:30, 26 March 2024 (UTC)- Is there any way for us to find out where Telegram gets the information for the hint messages for Wikipedia page links?

- c.f. ticket:2024032410001975 - looks like this article listed a different developer back in 2021 - I have no idea what the correct value for this is - however it has since been updated, looks like a third party has bad information that we can't control. — xaosflux Talk 12:34, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
