Faceident Beta recognises people incorrectly in sporadic cases. What’s happening? ↓

Whilst unlikely, we have seen some cases where Faceident Beta incorrectly recognises people. The behaviour usually occurs in group pictures with more than 10+ people, or in images with particularly small and far-away faces. Our team is working hard to improve our algorithms; we try ensure that they get more precise and accurate with each update.
