What You Should Know Before Using FaceApp - Today's Biggest News

If you've taken a selfie like this to see what you'll look like as an old person, you're not alone.
But the rise in popularity of FaceApp has a lot of people really worried.
When you sign up, you have to agree to its terms and conditions.
Basically, you're giving the company licence to use your photos for whatever they want, something that a lot of people are freaking out about, but it's actually quite common.
You've probably signed similar conditions if you've ever downloaded apps like Instagram, Facebook or Twitter.
The FaceApp developers say most photos submitted are deleted from their servers within 48 hours, that they won't sell or share your photos and that they only access the pictures submitted.
But privacy experts reckon it's a good reminder to be careful before you sign away your personal data because it could still potentially be used for other things like advertising.
Anyway, we'll have to wait and see how well this popular app ages.

It had held the spot since 2009, earning a total of 3.958 billion dollars.
Totally seen that one.

MACK HORTON REFUSES TO SHARE PODIUM WITH SUN YANG
Australia's top swimmers have been busy in the pool.
Mack Horton came second to China's Sun Yang in the 400 metre freestyle final at the Swimming World Championships in South Korea.
But he wasn't too happy. He refused to stand on the podium or pose for photos with Sun who's previously been banned for doping.
But there was one Aussie who had lots to smile about: Ariarne Titmus, the 18-year-old from Tasmania who won gold in the 400 metre freestyle, beating American Katie Ledecky.
It was a super special win because Ledecky's never lost a major international final in that event.
Go Ariarne!
