Are you worried about your privacy on FaceApp? If yes, then you have come to the right place. But before we start, I would like to ask a question from you: Have you ever read the terms of service of FaceApp? If no, then you should know that ‘FaceApp’s terms of service’ allows them to use your photos commercially. Now ask yourself, do you want to let someone use your photos commercially or publicly. If no, then you probably want to remove your data from FaceApp.

Thankfully, the company has now added a new feature in the app which will enable you to delete your all data from the app.

More than 12.7 million new users have joined the FaceApp in the past week. FaceApp is claiming that they don’t share or sell your data with third parties but people are still concerned about their data on FaceApp.

How to Remove Your Data from FaceApp?

Uninstalling the app won’t save you from privacy and data-related issues, the data will still be available for the company to use it for commercial purposes.

Here’s how to delete data from FaceApp:

Open FaceApp on your smartphone.
Navigate to Settings located at the top-left corner.
Select “Support.”
Now tap on “Report bug and send logs.”
Here you have to ‘request for your data to be deleted from FaceApp.’ Include terms like “privacy” while requesting from the company.

In a conversation with TechCrunch, FaceApp said, they have received many requests for deleting data so your request may take some time to proceed.

So your job is to send a request for removing your data and the rest you can leave on FaceApp.

If you didn’t experience any permission granted from you while installing and running the app, then you are not alone here. According to a survey, 50 % of users don’t realize what permissions an app takes while installing.
