Facebook Begins Testing Automated Face-Tagging Photo Feature
Brandweek will feature live discussions with marketing pros at ULTA Beauty, Converse, UPS and more. Meet us in Miami Sept. 11–14 to boost your business and elevate your brand.
Last April, Facebook bought photo-sharing startup Divvyshot, brought in its engineering team and made founder Sam Odio the product manager for its Photos application. And now, Odio and company have a new feature out for Facebook’s in-house photos application: automated face-tagging.
It works similar to face-recognition features on cameras and other photo software. Photos of people will now start showing rectangular outlines around their faces, if they’re not tagged already, with a text box beneath each rectangle allowing you to enter their names.
