About this listen

Your phone can make your face whiter. A touch can taper your jaw. It can slim your cheeks. Widen your eyes. Of course, it can make you thinner. In China, beauty — of a particular kind — can come from a swipe. A photo app called Meitu gives its users the power to create idealized versions of their real-world selves and share them with others. Its makers say: “Our mission is to make the world a more beautiful place.” Meitu and its related apps are hugely popular in China.©2016 The New York Times News Service Division of The New York Times Company (P)2016 Audible, Inc.
