Group chats and shared albums bring in hundreds of photos. Only some of them have the people you actually care about. FaceFilter finds those photos for you, so you can keep them and clear out the rest.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Add your people: your children, partner, parents or friends. Pick a few clear photos of each, or let FaceFilter group the faces in your recent photos so you just type the names.
2. Tap Check. Choose your newest WhatsApp photos, your most recent photos, or pick photos yourself.
3. See the results. Photos with your people are marked Keep. Photos with none of your people are marked Trash. You decide before anything is moved.
FACE RECOGNITION ON YOUR PHONE
Face detection and face matching run on your phone. Your photos and the face data FaceFilter creates are not uploaded to any server and are never used to train AI. FaceFilter has no accounts and no sign-in.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
- Find your people even in group photos.
- Check photos and videos that came in from WhatsApp, with one tap.
- Get a notification when new WhatsApp photos arrive (optional, you can turn it on in Settings).
- Keep sure matches automatically. When FaceFilter is very sure a photo shows one of your people, it can keep it without asking. Videos always wait for you.
- Move unwanted photos to your phone's Trash in one step. Android asks you to confirm first.
- See how much storage space you've freed.
- Make matching stricter or looser, and correct mistakes ("this isn't them") so matching improves for that person.
- Share photos from other apps straight into FaceFilter.
FREE AND PREMIUM
Every new user gets a 7-day free trial of Premium. No card needed.
After the trial, the free plan keeps working:
- Check up to 3 people at a time.
- Up to 50 photos per check.
- Shows an ad now and then after a photo check.
WhatsApp alerts, keeping sure matches automatically, and finding people in your photos stay free.
Premium (a subscription through Google Play) removes the limits:
- Check all your people.
- Up to 200 photos per check.
- No ads.
YOUR DATA, PLAINLY
- Your photos, faces and the names you type stay on your phone.
- To fix bugs, FaceFilter sends crash reports that don't include your photos (Sentry).
- To see which features are used, FaceFilter sends usage statistics that don't include your photos, faces or names (PostHog).
- Purchases are handled by Google Play and RevenueCat.
- The free plan shows ads from Google AdMob, which may use your phone's advertising ID. Where the law requires it (for example in the EU and UK), we ask for your choice first, and you can change it in Settings.
Full details are in our privacy policy.
GOOD TO KNOW
- FaceFilter needs access to your photos and videos to check them. You can give access to only some photos, but then FaceFilter can only check those.
- Matching is not perfect. Before anything goes to Trash, you see every photo and can change it.
- The app is in English.
- Android only for now.
