Tag Suggestions How does Facebook suggest tags? To help you tag your friends, photos of the same person are automatically grouped together. Facebook also suggest names for friends in some of these groups or on individual photos to help you save time tagging and sharing photos. These suggestions are made by saving some information about photos your friends are tagged in and comparing that information with photos you’ve uploaded. Facebook not automatically adding tags to photos, Facebook’re just suggesting friends you might want to tag. Facebook currently use facial recognition software that uses an algorithm to calculate a unique number (“template”) based on someone’s facial features, like the distance between the eyes, nose and ears. This template is based on photos you’ve been tagged in on Facebook. Facebook use these templates to help you tag photos by suggesting tags of your friends. Templates are only created for people on Facebook who’ve been tagged in a photo. If you un-tag yourself from a photo, that photo is not used to create the template. Facebook also couldn’t use a template to recreate an image of you. If Facebook can’t suggest a name automatically, Facebook group similar photos together so you can tag them quickly.
