ZAO

You can now become the star of legendary movies and films thanks to ZAO, a video editor for Android devices that can replace an actor's face with yours.

A video editor that replaces the face of actors in movies with your face

If a while ago FaceApp, the app that made us old, took half the world's phones, now ZAO is threatening to do the same. This is a photo editing app that can replace actors' faces in movies and series. That means you can finally remove Harrison Ford's face in Return of the Jedi and marry the love of your life, Princess Leia.

Deep fakes to appear in movies

Coming from China, this app uses artificial intelligence applied to the image to achieve spectacularly realistic results. Just share a photo of your face with the app and it will be captured into a video clip, even customizing the speaking gestures. Ok, it's not super incredibly accurate of course, but it's a lot of fun.

Also, the way this app handles private data is fun, which makes it very controversial. However, if a few months ago you shared your information with a Russian company using the FaceApp mentioned above, what's the problem in sharing it with the Chinese as well? All this data will still be sold in the end......

Apart from this small privacy issue, you should know that you will find the app entirely in Chinese and that you will have to register on a Chinese mobile. But surely we don't need to tell you that there are websites with phone numbers for these suggestions...

Requirements and further information:

• Minimum operating system requirements: Android 8.0.
• Installing the app using the APK file requires enabling the "Unknown Sources" option in Settings > Applications.
