  • Facial Recognition - Finding as-yet Unnamed People / Grouping "Others"

Would it be possible to group in one separate album the people in my vast photo collection who I’m yet to come across and identify with a name please – something like an “unnamed folder that automatically deposits the faces that I haven’t got to yet (thus avoiding having to go through pics one by one)?

This wouldn’t necessarily result in an endless list of albums for different people – eg, if I could mark (no doubt many of) the unnamed people as “Don’t Index” or “ID not required” or similar, they could essentially be forgotten for once and for all.

Similarly, if it didn’t interfere with the AI/facial recognition functionality, would it be possible to have a single “Friends” grouping to include photos of various people who are not in my “first circle” of relationships (and don’t need an individual album) but whom I would want to have some reference to / ability to find if desired?

Thank you.

    Dear paulep, thank you for your suggestion!

    At this point of time there is no automatic grouping feature for unknown people in Tonfotos. And the main idea behind it is to avoid cluttering of “People” tab with many unknown faces. However, it does not mean this will not change in the future. And the users feedback is the deciding factor here.

    I am inviting everyone to participate in this discussion and share their opinion on that topic. Do you prefer cleaner interface? Or do you prefer easier adding of new people? What are your thoughts on how to make it both clean and usable at the same time?

    There definitely needs to be a “mode” for sorting through untagged faces.

    My biggest gripe with other products is that they don’t group similar faces enough together.
    Often their 1st option is correct, so an ability to group untagged faces by AI best guess would be great. So instead of having 2 or 3 photos each time, group all faces AI thinks is “Kid A”
