Verizon Cloud
Use Tag and Search

The Tag and Search feature helps label people and objects in your photos so you can search your entire Verizon Cloud library instantly by keyword.

Before you begin

Tag and Search uses AI facial recognition technology to find photos of people and objects in your Verizon Cloud account. Once enabled, photos of people, pets and objects can be recalled easily and viewed in a group (e.g., all images of hamburgers, etc.). Accepting the terms and conditions indicates that you have the permission of people in your photos to have facial recognition technology used on their image.
