TikTok never ceases to amaze us with a new trend every day. One of the virtues (or flaws, depending on how you look at it) of the social media platform is the relative ease with which anything can go viral. Whether it’s a dance, a challenge, or a song, anything goes to become a hit on TikTok.
The latest trend that has taken off on the short video platform is a filter called Aged. As you can guess from its name, it shows you what your face would look like when you’re older. Through a split-screen effect, you can see your current self compared to your “future self.”
The high quality and realism of the filter have made everyone want to try it, even celebrities like Kylie Jenner. This trend has sparked all kinds of reactions: some people come out looking quite good, but others, like Kylie, are not thrilled with the result.
Well-known influencer María Pombo wanted to take advantage of this trend to share a reflection in her video: “You’re never going to be this young again. You are the youngest version of yourself for the rest of your life. So whatever you’re thinking of doing, just do it.”
The filter has certainly sparked a debate in the comments section of TikTok. Many people point out the fear of aging and also advocate for the beauty of wrinkles and imperfections. As they say, aging is a privilege denied to many.
If you want to try the Aged effect, simply go to the filter options within TikTok. Once you have it, use it to see how you would look with a few more years. Did you like the result?
