Google says Photos app can now recognise users from behind, here’s how

Google Photos facial recognition enables users to group photos of people with similar faces. Last week, a report claimed that the app has the ability to recognise people even if there is no face visible in the photo. Google has now confirmed the improvement in the ability to tag people correctly with the right name.

How Google Photos facial recognition works

Google Photos’ facial recognition feature uses machine learning to make it easy for users to label people or even pets that appear in photos by offering suggestions in order to add photos to the group. This enables them to quickly search and manage photos of specific people or pets within the app.
