Facebook rolls out face recognition, kills tagging option

San Francisco: In a much-needed relief for 2.41 billion users, Facebook is rolling out Face recognition feature to all which will replace the earlier “Tag Suggestions” settings that notified you if someone uploaded a photo and automatically tagged you in it. People who are new to Facebook or who previously had the “Tag Suggestions” setting will have the face recognition setting by default and will receive information about how it works. “The Tag Suggestions setting, which only controls whether we can suggest that your friends tag you in photos or videos using face recognition will no longer be available,” Srinivas Narayanan, Applied Research Lead, Fb AI, said in a statement on Tuesday. If you have Face Recognition turned on, Facebook will notify you if someone uploads a photo of you, even if you aren’t tagged. In December 2017, Facebook introduced a new setting for some people called face recognition. (IANS)
