Intelligence Summary
Google is updating Google Home’s Familiar Faces feature to improve identification when faces are not clearly visible. The update uses additional non-biometric cues such as body size and clothing color. It also automatically refreshes the Familiar Faces library with newer images of household members. This should reduce incorrect camera-triggered identifications caused by outdated examples or turned-away positions. Users with tagged people should review any privacy and recognition settings in Google Home after the change rolls out.
