And it is because of so much growth, this social network has been increasing more and more the services it offers and giving better community standards to all its users, giving little margin to other social networks just be competition, since when they really are a competition, the giant Azul (Facebook) absorbs them.

In fact, there is hardly a chance for anyone to compete, Instagram was one of the most pronounced networks back in 2016 and around those dates was bought by Mark Zuckemberg owner and founder of Facebook, as we said a moment ago … No social network has room to compete with the blue giant.

What really happens when you use this App on Facebook?

If you have been attentive, you will have seen that “what famous do you look like?” of Facebook is one of the latest challenges appeared in this famous social network, a challenge that many users follow, of course it has reached those who did not deactivate the annoying notifications

The truth is that basically its operation it has to do with taking any of your photos, and analyzing your features, put a photo of a famous person who is the one who bears the most similarity to you. But regardless of how funny this seems to some users, it seems that it is a hoax that has become popular, without more.

“What famous do you look like?” from Facebook, steal your personal data

The first thing we have to say in this regard is that the game “What famous do you look like?Facebook is extremely fashionable, so if you have not used it, it is more than likely that someone close to you at some point has tried to have fun with it.

This is on the Facebook platform using an App that you find right there, you must be registered on the platform To be able to access it, then you have to upload an image of your face and the App will do everything, you do not need to know much to be able to do it and it is really very effective in what it does (which is to find you the resemblance to a clear famous)

Outside of this, you have to know that it is not only false in terms of which is still a Photoshop montage automatic imaging, but in addition, the number of celebrities it has is really limited.

The truth is that we have consulted a series of specialists in this regard, and they themselves have been able to confirm that when we send the photo for the game, it does not really analyze what famous we are like but also has no relation to the famous in question with the image.

In any case, we must say that we also run risks, and that is that both this challenge and any other, is in a position to steal data and information of our Facebook profile, for the permissions we give them.

In short, we wanted to make it clear that both this challenge of Facebook like many others that have been appearing With the passage of time, they are actually hoaxes that make users fall that provide them with a good part of their personal information, since they are totally unaware of what is behind it.

If you join these challenges, you will most likely be giving these people, personal data and information outside of Facebook, and not just your photographs, so be very careful with each one of them.
