6 Best Free Face Detection Apps For Android

Here is a list of best free Face Detection Apps for Android. These apps display how far face recognition and detection technology have come. All these apps use their face recognition capability in multiple ways. In some apps, users need to manually create a database of faces. To do that, users need to scan one face at a time and add other additional information about a face that they have scanned. After creating a database of faces, these apps can immediately recognize faces by matching a new face with their database. When these apps detect a face, they immediately show information added with a face like their names.

On the other hand, some apps use face detection to describe the features of a face. To do that, these apps scan a face and show data like Eye (Left and Right) = 99%, 60%, 0%, Smile = 40%, 100%, etc. A higher percentage value represents fully open eyes and a smiling face. A lower percentage indicates partially or fully closed eyes and non-smiling faces. Besides this, some apps also come with advanced features like text recognition, handwriting recognition, celebrity detection, and more. Go through the list to know more about these apps.
