The filter changes your face. What happens to your photo afterwards? You can like the result and still have a question: what does the app keep when you have finished using it? The terms depend on the service and feature. We cannot claim that every selfie trains other AI systems or that every app demands perpetual rights over it. One useful detail: Lensa explains that uninstalling its app does not delete your account. Before uploading an image, check permissions, intended uses, storage and deletion options. The carousel brings together checks to save for your next filter. Which condition would make you stop using an app?
