Honestly I think we need to understand that this is no different to sticking a photo of someone's head on a porn magazine photo. It's not real. It's just less janky.

I would categorise it as sexual harassment, not abuse. Still serious, but a different level

Furthermore, we generally assume malicious intent, but I wouldn't be surprised if teenagers were using the app to 'get' big boobs etc., we all have seen those shopped pictures with deformed background 😁
