A photo showing a baby with a white beard has sparked social media attention and has garnered tens of thousands of shares, with some believing it and others mocking it.

The photo is actually edited using an app that adds signs of aging to photos, according to AFP.
While the post garnered more than 20,<> shares on just one page and thousands of comments believing it, other commentators denounced the use of verses from the Koran to support a fake image.
Research later led to the original version of the photo that it was posted in a blog along with photos of other natural children.

The newborn child does not show a trace of any beard or graying, which raises the suspicion that the image is modified using applications that add the features of aging to the faces, the most famous of which is Face App.According to "Al-Arabiya.net", the news fact-checking service in AFP uploaded the image to the Face App application with the addition of aging effects, so the result was exactly the same as the image used in misleading publications.
