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

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.

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 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.

Any update on this? It has been "thinking about it" since December 3, 2018?

It is something really necessary nowadays.. it makes to find photos and navigating though them a lot easier.
We have a lot of votes here, and the last answer is from December/2019.
If it is something that will not be implemented, let us know.
But it is something really good.Thanks for providing us this channel to discuss about new features.

This is getting ridiculous. What is taking so long to implement this? Microsoft can’t even provide a timeframe...

Amazon Prime now comes with unlimited photo storage and facial recognition. Come on Microsoft, you're lagging!!

still waiting for this feature to be added.. In a month or two, my subscription to O365 will expire and with this being unavailable, I'm thinking if I should renew or use google's instead. I'm just using O365 to store my photos

I hope that the development of proper photo organisation within OneDrive has been a major priority for Microsoft for a while now.
This is one area that OneDrive falls so far behind Google in. And it doesn't say much about Microsoft's expertise in machine learning/human recognition compared to Google either. Cutting edge photo organisation would be a tech showcase for Microsoft as much as a convenience for their Office 365 users.
