Google Photos can now also recognize people from the back

It doesn’t work flawlessly yet, but Google Photos can now recognize people from the back. Android Authority writes that Google Photos can now recognize you by the back of your head, without your face being visible in the photo.

Google Photos

You know it, those social media photos where a girl can be seen from the back and the photographer only holds her hand, often in the most beautiful places in the world. Even on those photos, Google Photos can now recognize which person is in them. It does not only apply to photos that you put new on the app, photos that have been on it for years now also offer support to recognize the person based on the back of their head.

It’s not Google Photos’ most stable feature. Sometimes he doesn’t, sometimes he automatically tags the person already, and sometimes he just suggests this person to be tagged. Incidentally, it does not seem to be so much about the back of mind on which Google bases its tagging: it is more about the environment. If you shoot a whole series of photos at the Eiffel Tower, some of which are back-to-camera, but also some are facing the camera, then Google Photos will probably know, mainly based on that context, that that person is too. must be.

Rear end

That is also conceivable, because the back of the head is quite interchangeable: not many measurements can be made there, as you can with a face with eyes, eyebrows, a nose and a mouth. It may also be that it is not so much the Eiffel Tower that provides recognisability, but, for example, the outfit. Want to manually tag people in photos? That’s how you do it.

What do you think of this, do you like that Google Photos will also recognize you from the back, or rather not? Leave it now in the comments.
