Need help setting up face recognition on your Galaxy S20 Facebook application? Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to activate Facebook Face Recognition on the Galaxy S20 handset.
Logging into your account can be a bit of a challenge, especially if you’re the type of person who easily forgets. Thankfully, most of not all essential apps are already programmed to make the used-to-be complicated login process more effortless.

If you haven’t used this feature on your new Samsung Galaxy flagship phone, I’ve mapped out a quick guide to help you get started. Read on for more detailed instructions.
