Face.
On-device face matching that finds the same person across your photo library or through a video, with no image leaving the device.
Find people in photos, private on the device.
Open a photo library with Face and the pictures are grouped by person, so you find everyone in one tap. Pick one photo and Face finds every other photo and video moment that person appears in, so search by example needs no name.
All of the matching happens on the device. The photos stay where they are, nothing is uploaded, and there is no face infrastructure on your side to run or secure. Face is on Apple platforms first, in closed beta.
Group a library by person
Sort a user's photos into people the way the system photo app does, in your own app, with no image leaving the device to be matched.
Search by example
Pick one face and Face returns every photo that person appears in, across a library or a shared album, in one pass.
Find a person across a clip
Match the same face frame after frame through a video, so an app can jump to every moment one person is on screen. Check whether the person in a clip is the person in a photo, without the footage leaving the device.
What the model does
- Match a face against a set, group a library by person, or search by example.
- Runs fully on device; images and face data never leave the device.
