Facial recognition is used by Facebook to alert you when you are tagged within an image. How to disable the feature
Facial recognition on Facebook has been around for a couple of years now. It is used by the social network to suggest which friends to tag within the images we post on our profile. Since December 2017, Facebook has also been using facial recognition to combat the creation of fake accounts that use images stolen from other users as profile photos.
Also thanks to facial recognition, Facebook sends a notification to the user when an image with him in it is uploaded to the social. This is a very useful feature, but one that may not appeal to all users. Especially in terms of privacy issues. Why would Facebook use its algorithms to scan users’ faces and use the collected information for other purposes? Fortunately, you can disable facial recognition directly from your profile. It is a very simple procedure and it will take you only a few minutes.
Face Recognition Facebook, how to disable it
The feature for facial recognition can be disabled directly from the smartphone application. First, you need to log into your account and then press on the icon with three vertical lines in the top right corner. At this point you have to scroll down until you find the item “Quick links to privacy” and then click on “Other settings”. Pressing on the “Facial Recognition” item will open a pop-up menu and you’ll have to choose the “No” option. This way Facebook will no longer send us notifications when someone uploads an image where we are also present.
