Mine was the same, it was already set to off.

  Can't find it in my Facebook settings - can you give us a pointer where to find these settings in Facebooks cesspool of anti-patterns they like to promote as the "settings" page...

    There's a "Face Recognition" tab that's new to the settings page since the last time I went through disabling things. For me, it shows up on the left side right under "Language".
    • mmjaa 9y ago
      Okay, I don't see it. Maybe its a USA-only thing? (Europe here.)

        Nope, I'm in Europe and got it. Try using this link: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=facerec&section=face_recognition https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=facerec&section=face_r...

          I don't see it in Canada.

            Me neither.
      • khedoros1 9y ago
        Maybe it's something they're A/B testing?
        • mmjaa 9y ago
          It would appear to be the case - I don't see it, but others in Europe do... its maybe also related to local laws (Austria) disallowing such things, and if that is the case I sure am thankful.

          I think so... I'm not seeing it (in the US)
    • antoncohen 9y ago
      For me I had a related setting under the "Timeline and Tagging" tab (set to "No One"), there was no "Face Recognition" tab... until I click "Go to Settings" in the notification, then the "Face Recognition" tab appeared, and the similar setting was removed from "Timeline and Tagging".

      How many pictures do you have of yourself on Facebook? I see the setting, but it states that 'this is not yet available to you'.
      • khedoros1 9y ago
        No idea. I joined early and didn't really think through some of the privacy ramifications until 2008 or even 2010. Then there are the friends who don't think about them at all, and I assume that Facebook puts some stock in their tags, even if I delete them later.
