Naming the faces

Opening it

Open the Gallery, pick a Moment, and tap the face icon beside the date. Livo finds the faces in that Moment’s photos (the first time takes a moment) and shows each one as a small chip, in the order the photos were taken.

Name, then tap

1. Tap Who is this? and pick a person — type a name, say it, or choose from the list; Add “…” as a new person makes one on the spot. The band at the top of the list, In this Moment, and recent, holds the people already tagged on these photos and the people you have named in earlier Moments this session, so a name is one tap once you have used it.
2. Tap every chip that is that person. Chips from the same photo dim, because a person appears only once in a photo.
3. Tap Apply. Those chips leave the grid and the photos are tagged with that person.
4. Pick the next person. When everyone left is one person, Everyone else is… names them all at once.

Press and hold a chip to see the whole photo, large, with that face outlined, and a menu: Name this face…, Not a face, Don’t name (a stranger), Hide for now, Show the photo. The chips are three across so each face is big enough to read. Skip rest marks everything left as Don’t name, after asking, and goes on to the next Moment with faces to name. Faces you marked Not a face wait in a collapsed row at the bottom, “Not faces (3)”; open it and tap a chip, or its Restore, to put that face back as unnamed.

Review

The Review switch at the top shows every named face in this Moment, grouped by name. Tap a face to rename it or un-name it. Previous and Next move through Moments that have named faces.

Moving on

When a Moment is done, the card tells you how many Moments still have faces to name. Next Moment goes to the next one that does, and the Gallery behind moves with you. If photos in the Moment carry a person whose face is not among the named ones (you tagged the whole day generously in Tag the Moment, say), the card offers Take them off with the count and the names, and an Undo; it counts only photos where every face is named, never one with a face Livo found but you did not name.

Where the names go

Naming a face tags the photo with that person, so Tag the Moment, the person’s screen, the Filter and Livo Search all find it; Tag the Moment is the faster way when a Moment has no faces to find, or when you know who was there without looking. Removing a person from a photo also un-names their face there. No face measurements are stored and nothing leaves the phone; a Time Capsule carries the names, never the face boxes.
