Do they still do this? A lot of the times people aren't tagged by where their face is, but just tagged off to the side or something. I feel like this wouldn't work in a lot of cases.
- zappo2938 11y agoNow when I upload an image to Facebook it automatically uses facial recognition to tag my friends. In the video from 2013 he mentions they had already solved the problem using heuristics to find faces in images. Before that, circa 2012, they might have been relying on people to tag their photos.
