Disable Facebook’s Automatic Facial Recognition
There’s one thing pesky about Facebook. Every time they come out with a new feature, it’s ‘enabled’ by default. It’s not always an opt-in. The latest one is FB automatically suggesting your friends on tagging your photos by their new facial-recognition feature.
How to turn off auto facial recognition on Facebook
Goto Account > Privacy and click on the “Customize settings” link on the bottom
Next, scroll down and find “Suggest photos of me to friends” under the “Things others share” section.
Clicking on the above link will bring a popup where you can disable “Suggest Photos of me to friends”.
Once this has been disabled, your photos wont be checked with facial recognition and your friends will not get a suggestion to tag your face in their photos.
When will Facebook take its users’ privacy seriously?
