How does activating facial recognition benefit me on Facebook?
It is important to activate facial recognition that gives us the following benefits.
Suggest tags
To tag people on your Facebook or take their picture could be done by configuring tag suggestions, but this was replaced by configuring facial recognition, now for a while now we can use facial recognition to tag and tag ourselves to other users in the photos and videos we post.
As long as people have the option to allow tags active since there is a setting that prevents other people from tagging you.
Facial recognition on Facebook helps to search for people in photos and videos that are published on the network and to search for us to suggest tags, just as it will suggest people that it identifies through the search for facial recognition or if a friend places a photo or video where we appear will propose us our label.
If a person tags you and you do not have the configuration that does not allow other users to tag you, there is no need to worry because you can easily remove that tag.
Notify if you appear in a photo
Facial recognition will inform us when we have possibly appeared in a photo or video where we are not tagged.
Protect yourself from spoofing
One of the benefits is to fight and avoid being impersonated in our identity in this social network since through facial recognition we will be informed if a profile photograph of some or another person is detected who is using our face or image to impersonate us and want to use it to harm us, so we will have the opportunity to file a complaint.
