The URL when I found it was: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=facerec

If that URL doesn't work I went to Settings and there's a tab for "Facial Recognition" on the left rail. Between "Language and Regions" and "Notifications"



I don't know if this is supposed to be new, I found it and it was already set to "no". I think I turned it off on one of my privacy kicks a year or two ago, not sure exactly.


I really appreciate you posting this.

Just to confirm my experience: when I click on that link, I see "General Account Settings" (like name, username, contact... Everything that's available from the first left-hand menu choice.) And no where in that left-hand menu is there any choice about Face Recognition.

I do have a left-hand menu choice about "Timeline and Tagging" -- but there's still nothing there about face recognition.


Here's what my left hand menu looks like: https://imgur.com/a/dFPibMc

I'd guess that it's a feature that's being gradually rolled out to all accounts.

I originally posted it because I was frustrated that I didn't see a link to the setting in the article, but I guess I understand why there was no link.


My left-hand menu looks exactly like yours -- but without the "Face Recognition" choice. (After "Language and Region" my next choice is "Notifications", with nothing in between.)

Thanks for posting the screenshot.


I just noticed the last line of Facebook's (Tuesday) announcement.

"These changes will be effective globally starting today."

Can't figure out why I'm not seeing them.
