- A TikToker noticed her ex-boyfriend's Tinder photo was altered because she took the original photo.
- The video exposing the edit has gone mega-viral, amassing over 13 million views in five days.
A 21-year-old from Manchester has left commenters "screaming" with their "jaws dropped" for revealing what she proclaims are her ex-boyfriend's photo editing habits.
In the clip, which has been viewed over 13 million times in five days, the TikToker Beth Leah showed two images in a slideshow: one of the original, that she claimed she took of her ex, and one that appeared on his Tinder profile.
The latter shows a face that's noticeably more chiseled, with lines on his face that seem to be smoothed over. The lighting and shadows across his face also appear to be altered in the two images.
"POV: you see your ex on tinder with a photo that you took of him but he's photoshopped the hell out of himself," she wrote in on-screen text in her viral TikTok.
(Note: The two photos appear to be two separate photos that were taken, with his arm positioned differently in each. Leah told Insider she took several photos in a batch this evening and only had saved one of the originals.)
In the description of her TikTok, Leah wrote that the "poor girls" who match with him "are going to be gutted when they see the real deal."
People were initially gobsmacked that she had the gull to out her ex like this. "The way my jaw DROPPED," one top commenter reacted. "YOU'VE DONE HIM SO DIRTY HAHAHAHA," another exclaimed.
However, the comment section quickly took a positive turn, as many others thought the face-editing was fantastic and are quite impressed with his editing eye.
"Can u ask him to drop a tutorial cause his skills are impressive," one top comment said.
"That's some good editing because I'm questioning if that's him or just a coincidence they dressed the same and went to the same place," another person wrote.
Strangers are even requesting that he help them with their own photo editing. "I'll pay him $10 to facetune my photos," one comment with 53,000 likes said.
Leah told Insider that she there's "no hate" towards her ex-boyfriend whatsoever. She initially posted it for a laugh for her inner group of friends.
"I don't hate him or anything like that," Leah said. "It was just kind of a joke that I thought would be amongst our friends and then it seemed that everyone had seen it, and I was just like, wow, that's crazy."
When she made the video, Leah had 100 followers, she said, and now she has over 3,800.
Leah said she heard from a mutual friend that her ex had seen her viral video and had mixed feelings about it. (Insider has reached out to him.)
She said he likely made the edits using FaceApp, which she said he used "in a silly way," like using the app's filters to make himself look like an old man. Today, it appears he's sharpened his skills.
Leah reiterated that a cheeky joke aside, she thinks her ex is still quite handsome.
"I think he's good-looking with and without the filters," she said.
