Who would have thought… even I got it to work. Thank you for the guide Jim Lian
Got it now 🙂
oh! Its here! 😀
But, who the heck are all these people…??!?
I’m sure it’s a matter of time Tor Ivan Boine , all the technology is already there..
It’s said that the indexing part is already done, but I don’t know.. In the mean time you could play with search – it’s pretty impressive too. search for things like pizza, cars, people with sunglasses and so on.. Harald E. Westlie
I wish that we could name the faces
nice! Didnt think of doing it this way.
I got HMA PRO. Just forgot that I had it… :p
No need to reinstall, just wipe the data in settings > General > application Manager.
But I guess I have to wait, huh… :/ Oki. I can wait, got 38K photos there.
I have to explore every Google app for hidden goodies now! 😀
8 hours for me – I have approximately 25k photos (is there any place to check the number of photos stored in Google Photos?)
15 hours?
None here yet😭😭😭 They’re here 🙌🙌🙌How long for faces to appear?
I’m still kind of amazed, I have pics (some of them blurry and/or in a crowd) of my kids from years back and it matches it to pics taken today.
Faces finally appeared ☺ spooky matches (and som quite fun misses)
yeah, delete app data is mandatory if I’m not mistaken Thomas Schulzki. It won’t touch the pics so it is safe to do so.
I got the group faces as Thomas Schulzki – and same result. 😢
OK, I’ll just wait and see – The setting is active both in app, and on web 🙂
Tor Ivan Boine – Deleting the app-data before activating the VPN service made the option available for me…
I had to reinstall the app to get that option. I used a vpn app on my phone
Hm, it should be pretty instant, I think the indexing part is already finished..
OK – I only got “Places”, “Things” and “Types” for now – it will probably have to work a while before they appear – there are a few k’s of photos to go through…
In http://photos.google.com click/place the cursor inside the search bar – they will show up right below.. Thomas Schulzki
In the app; go to the assistant and click the search icon in the lower right corner.
Stupid question – where do you find those collections of faces after you have enabled “Group similar faces”?
