New Facebook feature issues alert if you're spotted in someone else's photo
Facebook has
introduced a couple of new features that the company says will help people
better manage their identity on the social network. First up is the ability to
issue notifications whenever you show up in someone else's photo.
So if you have the
feature enabled, and Facebook spots you in a photo, and you're also part of the
audience of that image, then you'll be notified about this, even if you've not
been tagged in the photo.
"You’re in control of your image on
Facebook and can make choices such as whether to tag yourself, leave yourself
untagged, or reach out to the person who posted the photo if you have concerns
about it," Facebook says.
Moving on, the company says they'll soon be
rolling out another feature that'll let you know if someone is trying to
impersonate you on Facebook by using your photo as their profile image.
It's worth mentioning that both these
features are optional. The company also revealed that the functionalities use
the same face recognition tech that's currently used to suggest friends you may
want to tag in photos or videos.
As for availability, the company says these
features will be accessible in most places, except for Canada and the EU where
Facebook currently doesn't offer face recognition technology.
And finally, Facebook has also announced new
tools for people with visual impairments. To access all the details, head to
