Something have been noticing for a little while now is that the automatic image tagging that was implemented relatively recently in the smart phone facebook apps, on my android phones, etc., seems to now have been implemented/carried over to the mobile web interface when I use it on my laptop.


As in, I'll come across a status update mentioning photo's having been uploaded, and the image tags will have been automatically generated, in an attempt to tell me what the photo's contain.


My guess is that they're now keeping track of the fact that on the smart phone app, I have talkback running, which is what was, as far as I know, meant to have triggered the process, and they're now carrying this across to the other interface, when, for example, under windows 10, I browse to m.facebook.com, but, am using same profile.


Anyone else noticed this? And, am asking sing since wondering if this has been implemented for all people, or only those they're sort of aware use screen readers on their smart phones?


Stay well
