FOREVER Facial Recognition is an added feature that automatically identifies the people in your photos and organizes your photos by people in your account. Coupled with our powerful filters, Facial Recognition makes it easier than ever to quickly find images of specific people, even in large collections. As your photo collection in FOREVER grows, Facial Recognition continues to organize new images without any extra effort. Importantly, your data remains private—FOREVER never shares your content or uses it for ads. Facial recognition takes the hassle out of manual sorting by person, making it easier to manage and enjoy your memories.

A FOREVER Facial Recognition subscription includes the ability to automatically identify and organize the people in your photos, saving you the effort of manually tagging each image with the names of the people who appear in that photo. It allows you to easily search for specific people in your collection, even as it grows over time. The subscription ensures your memories are efficiently organized while protecting your privacy.

While "free" services like Google may offer automatic organization of your photos with facial recognition technology, they often come with hidden costs, particularly regarding privacy. These services may analyze, store, or even use your personal data for targeted advertising or other purposes. With FOREVER, you own your content outright, and your data is protected. Your photos, videos, and the people you organize are never shared or used without your consent. Unlike many "free" platforms, FOREVER is focused on ensuring your digital rights regarding your content and the long-term security of your memories.

Facially recognized people you add to your account are private and therefore visible only to you and your Account Managers when they are managing your account. FOREVER clients or connections who are not an Account Manager cannot see facially recognized and identified people in your photos.

No. At this time, Facial Recognition does not work with videos stored in your FOREVER Account. The Facial Recognition feature is only available for photos, helping you name and organize people within your images. Videos are securely stored in your account and can be added manually to your People organization, but the system does not analyze or recognize people in video content. Facial Recognition for video is a feature we plan to introduce in the future.

Yes, you can manually create a person in your FOREVER Account. Simply go to the People view, select the option to "Add Person," and manually input their name. You can then manually add any photos, videos, and documents that you wish to that person. Facial Recognition is an optional tool that makes creating and managing your people quick, easy, and fun, but it’s not required.
