Face DNA: AI Ethnicity Test is a photography app you can use to guess your ethnic background from a selfie. I found it on Google Play about a year ago and decided to try it, and I still have it on my phone now. The app is free to download, and it works on both Google Play and the App Store, though I mainly use the Android version. It has over a million installs, which made me feel like it was worth a shot. You do not need to register an account to use the basic features, which I really like. There are some in app purchases if you want more detailed reports, and there are ads, but they are not too annoying.

When you open the app, the first thing you do is take a clear photo of your face or upload one from your gallery. The app then scans your facial features and gives you a breakdown of possible ethnicities, usually showing percentages for different regions. I tried it with a few of my friends, and we had a good time comparing results. One simple tip I learned is to use good lighting, because the app works much better when your face is not in shadow. Another tip is to avoid wearing sunglasses or anything that covers part of your face, since that can mess up the scan. It takes about ten seconds to get the result, which feels fast for what it does.

I have used other ethnicity guesser apps before, but this one seems more detailed and fun to use. Some apps only give you a single result, but this one shows a mix, which feels more real. I also like that the design is clean and easy to follow, even for someone who is not into tech. The biggest reason I kept this app is because it does not take itself too seriously. It is more like a fun conversation starter at parties than a serious science tool. Compared to similar apps, this one gives me more to talk about, and the results are shown in a way that is easy to share with friends. I would say it is a solid pick if you are curious about this kind of thing.

Features

  • 😊 The main thing the app does is scan your face and give you a percentage breakdown of different ethnic regions. It is not meant to be exact, but it is interesting to see what it comes up with. Unlike Ancestry DNA Test, which needs a real DNA kit, this app only needs a photo, so you get results in seconds instead of weeks.
  • 📊 You can see a clear pie chart and a list of regions, which makes the result easy to understand. The app also lets you save your report to look at later. Some other apps like Ethnicity Estimator only show a plain text result, but this one gives you a nicer visual, and you can even compare your result with a friend's by taking a new photo.
  • 🎉 There is a fun sharing feature that lets you post your result card directly to social media. I like that because it saves me from taking a screenshot. Another app I tried did not have this, so I had to crop the image myself, which was a hassle.

Pros

  • 👍 The app is very easy to use, and you can get a result in under a minute. I did not have to read any instructions, which I appreciate. It feels much more straightforward than Ethnicity Face Scan, which asks for too many permissions before you even start.
  • 🎯 It gives a more detailed breakdown than most similar apps. Instead of just saying 'European,' it splits it into smaller groups, so the result feels more personal and fun to talk about.

Cons

  • ⚠️ It sometimes struggles with side profiles or low quality photos, so you might have to retake the picture a few times. A similar app I used handled those cases a bit better.
  • 🔕 The ads can pop up right after you see your result, which interrupts the fun moment. It would be better if they appeared at the start instead.
