Face recognition in Gallery for Auto-updating album feature

SaurabhO — Tue, 19 Mar 2024 17:13:05 GMT

I am using S24 Ultra and trying to get photos identified by face of different people just as we do in Google photos.

Either this feature is not available in this flagship model or somehow I'm not able to do it.

I've heard that this feature is available in other models of Samsung.

Did they mention Samsung Galery specifically? If not then they are likely referring to the application that has this feature. (Google Photos)

Perhaps this is using image tags, and not some scarry face recognition based on criteria that it could not possibly know. Do not believe what you see in movies, these systems have to be TOLD who the person in the image is.

Yess.. ik
I've been using Google photos for a long time.. I am just trying to know if this feature is available in the gallery..
I've seen it in other brands' phones and also in iPhones..
Found a similar option in this phone, so trying to figure out how it works..

@SaurabhO Well how about that! I did not know that existed. Thanks for showing me a new feature.

I found it and tried it out on an S24 Ultra and Fold 5. Works like a breeze. After selecting the Auto-updating album, it prompts me to name the album and then it shows a selection of people.

If it isn't working for you, maybe you don't have clear photos of people's faces. If you do, you could try force stopping the app and then clearing the app's cache.

Hello, thanks for reaching out about the Gallery feature for Auto-updating album. For this feature to work, photos would need to be tagged with the specific people in mind for it to group up, so it has a solid frame of reference. The more tagged, the better the recognition feature works. You should still manually review and edit as need be after the fact, to spot and correct any error(s).

Did you see the people automatically when creating an auto updating folder or you tagged their names in some photos?

It seems you don't have the S24 or haven't experienced the problem.

Samsung Gallery Facial- Recognition PROBLEM (S22+ Ultra)-How can I add a person to the picture that isn't being recognized. My daughter and I look similar so it is adding her and my husband instead of me. I know how to remove her, but how do I add me?
