CALIFORNIA – Social media giant Facebook has introduced a new ‘facial recognition’ privacy feature in Pakistan.
The face recognition feature allows users following liberties:
- Users can tag people easily and more quickly.
- The new feature will notify users when their picture has been uploaded by anyone, anywhere.
- Facebook’s new feature allows users to know if someone else is using your pictures and uploading them to Facebook.
- Let users know when they might appear in photos or videos but haven’t been tagged.
Earlier, Facebook facial recognition feature was used by users to tag each other. Facebook allowed you an option to add the names of your friends on a group picture, but that had nothing to do with user’s privacy and security.
Now Facebook has innovated its own technology and has taken a step ahead. It gives you the option to identify your pictures and notify you if someone else uploads them. So now this feature is more about user’s privacy and security.
The aim of Facebook facial recognition feature now is to allow you to find pictures you are in but you are not tagged in them. Keep you aware of any strangers uploading your snaps without your permission. Add an option of audio to allow visually impaired users hear who is in your pictures on Facebook.
Facebook launch and enable this new feature for every user in Pakistan however, It can be turn off by going to account settings and click Face Recognition on Facebook.
