I just did it with 2 photos - one came up as 28 and the as 77 - DH came up as 55

We are 39 and 37 respectively

We can't stop laughing - not so funny for some though

AIBU to ask how far out it was for you (or not)

Two photos, taken seconds apart. In the first I was 79 and the second, 34. 😆

Just tried it. I came out as 44 - not bad; I'm 46.

But then it told me I was male!! (I'm not, by the way Grin)

Haha I don't have any pics of myself, New phone. It just guessed my ds 8yo as 57 Grin. Dread to think what it'd say about me!

30- I'll happily take that! I'm 40 and I wouldn't say I look much younger!

It said I was 34 - I'm 39.
Biometric software is not very accurate - especially facial recognition software, so it doesn't surprise me that this is not very accurate.

I'm getting anything between 21 and 47. My 7 yo niece is 26.

Sixty fucking four. It was a crap selfie, though!

Worst thing is the 51 was for the only photo in which I was wearing make up and looking half decent for a night out! Interesting, but obviously not quite there yet technology wise!

34 for DH, and he's 31. 20 for me, I'm 29 Grin

I think it's incredibly accurate. Grin

DH is given as 52 whilst I'm a youthful 38. (59 and 58 in real life)

I tried 3 times with 3 diff pics of me and got - 33, 34 and 33. I'm 33 nearly 34.

Tried 3. Came out as 43, 37 and 38 - so reasonably consistent. I am actually 50 and would say I looked ok for my age. No one would mistake me for late 30s however!

Husband came out at 48 - and is 57. Do you think they deliberately knock about a decade off?

I think this software needs a lot of improving. I'm 37 and tried it with two recent photos of me. For one it said 55 and one 29!

It said 5 for my daughter, which was a bit more realistic (she's 3), but 20 for my son, who's five.

It knocked 7 years off my age, and that was without make-up.
