Facebook introduces new technology to recognise and identify faces in photos

Facebook has announced it is using new

face recognition tools to help you find yourself in photos that you are not tagged in, writes Denise O’Donoghue.
The social media company says it can help detect when others might be attempting to use your image as their profile picture.
The new features are being introduced around the world, except in Canada and the EU.
The new tools can be controlled with an ’on/off’ control. If your tag suggestions setting is currently set to ’none’, then your default face recognition setting will be set to ’off’ and will remain that way until you decide to change it.
Facebook users will receive a notification if they appear untagged in a photo which you can see on Facebook. Users will not be notified if they are not the audience intended by the poster’s privacy settings.
