During the last few weeks, social networks such as Instagram and Facebook are filling up with some funny videos in which people appear with changed faces.

Something that Android mobile users can now enjoy after several weeks of success on iOS.

This is MSQRD, who has achieved success on iPhonethanks to the fun possibilities it offers, and which is now making the leap to the Google operating system Of course, for the moment it is in beta or testing phase, since they have yet to establish the technology that allows these skins to be applied to the immense variety of terminals AndroidHowever, its beta phase does not prevent its functions from being used and tested, with greater or lesser success.

This application is responsible for recognizing and locating the user's features through the camera for selfies of the terminal.In this way, it is able to take certain points of reference on which to apply some of the virtual masks that it has. This means being able to move and talk without the mask remaining completely static, offering some degree of realism , and getting fun and surprising results Of course, on Android, this application still has a long way to go.

Once the application is started, the terminal's front camera is activated to frame the user's face Thanks to a simple guide, it is easy to place yourself in the best position to achieve an ideal result. From this moment on the first virtual mask is applied to the user's face. However, the options are extensive, allowing you to choose from a whole carousel of famous faces and animals just by sliding your finger and selecting the desired skin.

Once applied, the result is displayed directly on the screen in real time, allowing the user to move, practicing poses or rehearsing speeches However, the real fun is creating content to share on social networks That is, photographs or videos with those masks. For this there are two buttons at the bottom of the screen, clearly differentiating between photo and video. In the case of video, its duration is limited, so it is only possible to record one minute of content.

Once the screenshot is taken or the video is recorded, MSQRD displays the final result on the screen, and offers different default options to share: Instagram, Facebook or Share With this last option it is also possible to send the result by WhatsApp or any other application installed on the mobile.
