Currently the top trending free app on Google Play with more than 100 million downloads, 'FaceApp' was launched two years ago.

Poland and Lithuania said Thursday they were looking into the potential security risks of using a Russian-made face-editing app that has triggered a viral social media trend where users post "aged" selfies.

Poland's digital affairs ministry said it was "analysing" the security risks posed by FaceApp to the personal data of its users, despite assurances by its designers that the app is safe.
