uni life FACE SWAP! Download from the Apple App store Download from the Google Play store Jess: Grandma, check out this photo of our family from Christmas! Grandma: Oh, that’s a lovely photo. Jess: Zoom in… Grandma: Ew!!! What is that!? I just couldn’t help myself – I needed to be a part of the face-swapping community! I familiarised myself with the app, Face Swap! and spent a solid 30 minutes one afternoon uploading all of the photos from my camera roll into this app, just to laugh hysterically at everyone’s new faces. Face swaps have been trending all across social media lately. Even Snapchat, the popular photo sharing app, has included their own version of a face-swapping filter feature. I’m sure you’ve seen the terrifying video of the face swap baby with a moustache, or the boy that pulled off the ‘best’ face swap with Adele (if you haven’t, Google them). You can use these popular applications to swap faces in images or videos, making for a hilarious series of crazy-faced individuals that will entertain you for hours. While there are loads of free face swapping apps available, I chose Face Swap! and have not been disappointed. If you’re looking for a fun, humorous way to take a break from study, I strongly recommend downloading one of these apps! Feel free to share your favourite face swaps with us in the comments below or, if you’re game for an upload, usq #USQ! Meanwhile, I’ve swapped my face here with Albert Einstein in the hopes of inspiring myself for my next study session. You’re welcome. WORDS: JESS THORNTON – USQ Student IMAGES: USQ ONLINE MARKETING
