How to enable facial recognition in your Google Photos?

Like Facebook or Apple Photos, Google Photos has a built-in facial recognition feature that can automatically organize your photos based on people’s faces.

Although you cannot assign names to recognized faces, at least for now, software algorithms can cleverly identify and group photos of people to help you quickly view the photos.

STEPS: 

  1. Go to your Android phone settings, select “Apps”, then select “Photos” under the “Downloaded” section and click the “Clear Data” button to reset your Google Photos app.
  2. Go to the Google Play store and download TunnelBear or Hola or any of your favorite VPN apps.
  3. Open the VPN app and connect. It will essentially trick Photos into thinking that you are connecting from the US, a country that is supported by Google Photos for facial recognition.
  4. Open the Google Photos app, scroll past the wizard screen and then under Settings, enable the option that says “Group Similar Faces – Auto Group photos by matching faces.”
