Can I merge or de-merge persons recognized by the app?
Yes! The general mechanism for doing this is to assign the same name to both persons.
Mobile
First, make sure one of the two person groupings is assigned a name through the Add a name
banner. Then for the second grouping, use the same banner but now instead of typing the name again, tap on the already given name that should now be listed.
De-merging a certain grouping can be done by going to the person, pressing review suggestions
and then the top right history icon
. Now press on the minus icon
beside the group you want to de-merge.
Desktop
Note that while desktop supports naming a person, it currently does not yet support merging persons. This will be added soon.
How do I change the cover for a recognized person?
Mobile
Inside the person group, long-press the image you want to use as cover. Then press Use as cover
.
Desktop
Desktop currently does not support picking a cover. It will default to the most recent image.
Can I tell the app to ignore certain recognized person?
Yes! You can tell the app not to show certain persons.
Mobile
First, make sure the person is not named. If you already gave a name, then first press Remove person label
in the top right menu. Now inside the unnamed grouping, press Ignore person
from the top right menu.
To undo this action, go to a photo containing the person. Go to the file info section of the photo and press on the face thumbnail of the ignored person. This will take you to the grouping of this person. Here you can press Show person
to undo ignoring the person.
Desktop
This is currently not yet supported on desktop, but will be added soon.
How well does the app handle photos of babies?
The face recognition model we use (or any face recognition model for that matter) is known to struggle with pictures of babies and toddlers. While we can't prevent all cases where this goes wrong, we've added a option to help you correct the model in such cases.
If you find a mixed grouping of several different babies, you can use the mixed grouping
option in the top right menu of said grouping. Activating this option will make the model re-evaluate the grouping with stricter settings, hopefully separating the different babies in different new groupings.
Please note this functionality is currently only available on mobile.
