Add the ability to people tag
I would like the ability to tag faces on pictures that have been uploaded to OneDrive. Currently Windows Live Photo Gallery has this ability and is generally really good at guessing faces. Also, Facebook has facial recognition that is about 97% accurate.
My request is:
-add ability to group pictures by people, adding this as an option along the top row, where we currently only see "Photos Albums Tags" right now. Any untagged picture will show in 'untagged'
-add facial recognition to suggest tags for pictures
-make this facial recognition at least as good as that in Windows Live Photo Gallery
-add a grouping along the top for "Places" for our geotagged pictures.

Wanted to provide an update here: this is something we’re planning on doing, but don’t have a timeframe to share yet

Very annoying that tagging no longer works in OneDrive. Why doesn't MS communicate about this? If the fix is going to take a long time, I'm forced to switch to DropBox or GDrive.

Why can't I tag my photos anymore in One-Drive? This has always been possible! Why do you not communicate?

Still no update from December 3, 2018? How many more years and votes do you need to move forward?

Seems facial recognition is an obvious demand of onedrive users. What's the hold up?

I think the unfortunate thing is that Microsoft had a awesome product with windows live photo gallery and many of us felt abandoned with the time and effort we put into WLPG with people tags as well as just a photo program in general.

Club photos of people automatically in albums/collections and option of manually adding people.
Refer Photos app on Android .. it's awesome

Crucial ist the possibility to manual tag people and overrule the app's decision. Because in many cases the app is simply wrong.

in the era of AI and ML - This is a must have feature!! I will say basic feature if we see Microsoft means and capabilities.

Come on Microsoft!!! I am going to have to move all my photos elsewhere as this BASIC feature of tagging photos is nonexistent. If we could create our own tag to help organize our photos that would be HUGE. Your facial recognition isn't cutting it and not being able to edit the tag to our personal selection??? Ridiculous.

can we get an update on where it currently stand?
i know other services have this already and that is really needed capability in a world where the media is almost unlimited.
looks like it is already open for couple of years now and no progress has been made so far...... -
@Microsoft any plans to stop "thinking" and actually acting on this? This discussion alone has over 3700 votes and there are similar discussions in the forums about it as well. It has been at least 2+ years that people have been asking for this feature. Are you listening?

what is the update on this, every other service does this and this honestly will cause people to just move their photos someplace else like I am looking to do so that I can catalog and find pictures faster

I would like the ability to tag faces with names on pictures that have been uploaded to OneDrive. Currently Windows Photo says it has this ability but there automatic tagging is not working as per photos uploaded. Google Photos & Facebook have facial recognition that automatically sorts out the like faces which helps you to tag further without tagging single photo one by one.
My request is:
-add facial recognition to suggest tags for pictures
-make this facial recognition similar to what Google Photos & Facebook offer already. -

I need this almost every day and I think about changing cloud provider because onedrive does not support it. This is state-of-the-art technology! Can't believe that the big Microsoft does not support it on onedrive.

Facial recognition is critical for this to be a fully functional consumer app. 99% of the average consumer's files are photos and videos. This should be a no-brainer. The tech exists in win 10 photo app-- get it ported into onedrive NOW!.

+1 - this is the sole reason why i am choosing not to sign up for a oneDrive storage account (with 1TB of storage). As soon as Microsoft comes up to par with competitors on this feature, i will use it over Google Photos and iCloud photos. It seems this is the 2nd most requested feature from OneDrive, so if this isn't implemented it will undermine my confidence in Microsoft's ability or willingness to meet user needs.
