Many Facebook users are probably aware of the fact that the social network service has some form of image recognition technology under the hood. After all, this is how Facebook is able to suggest the right friends in which to tag your photos with<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Tagging friends<\/a> aside, did you know that Facebook\u2019s image recognition technology also helps them tag your photos with specific parameters? If you\u2019re interested in looking at those tags yourself, here\u2019s how you can access them.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\tRead Also:<\/strong>\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\tHow to See Every Photo Someone Liked on Facebook<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. On the Facebook website, open an enlarged version of a photo<\/strong>. <\/li>\n
  2. If you\u2019re on Google Chrome, right-click on the image and select Inspect<\/strong>. If you\u2019re on other browsers, open up the browser\u2019s Developer Tools<\/strong>. <\/li>\n
  3. Search for the \"alt attribute of the image tag\"<\/strong> in the Developer Tools<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Once you\u2019ve managed to find the image\u2019s alt attribute, you\u2019ll be able to see all of the tags that are associated with the picture past the phrase \"Image may content\"<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    \"image<\/figure>\n
    \"image<\/figure>\n

    For the most part, the tags associated with the photos are rather accurate. That being said, the image recognition system doesn\u2019t seem to work well with pictures that aren\u2019t photos <\/strong>such as pictures and screenshots.<\/p>\n

    In these cases, there is a chance that you\u2019ll see this rather than image tags instead.<\/p>\n

    \"pictures<\/figure>\n

    For those of you who would like these tags to be more visible, Chrome has a handy extension<\/a> that lets takes the tags and makes it visible on the photos themselves.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
