Facebook is updating its face recognition feature that will stop the “Tag Suggestions” settings on photos.
This means that photos of people will not be automatically tagged any more on the social media platform.
“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, Facebook AI, said in a statement on Tuesday.
If the setting is turned on, Facebook will notify users if someone uploads their photo even if they are not tagged.
“Our face recognition setting lets you manage not only whether Facebook uses face recognition technology on your photos in order to suggest tags; it provides an easy on or off switch for a broader set of uses of face recognition, such as helping you protect your identity on Facebook,” explained Narayanan.
Users will be notified about it soon and will be given an option to turn it off.
“People will still be able to manually tag friends, but we won’t suggest you to be tagged if you do not have face recognition turned on. If you already have the face recognition setting, you won’t receive a notice,” the company added.
