Facebook announced the introduction of these feature back in 19th December 2017, Joaquin Quiñonero Candela said

Today we’re announcing new, optional tools to help people better manage their identity on Facebook using face recognition. Powered by the same technology we’ve used to suggest friends you may want to tag in photos or videos, these new features help you find photos that you’re not tagged in and help you detect when others might be attempting to use your image as their profile picture.

Even though most people agree that automated tagging is not desirable, this feature could be a step closer to making Facebook a more powerful marketing tool.

These feature makes the use of Facebook safer, The feature should give people confidence that there aren’t pictures of them floating around Facebook that they could see but just don’t know about. It could also help thwart impersonation. , these feature uses the same program as that used in friend suggestion.

Facebook’s applied machine learning product manager Nipun Mather says

the feature is designed to give people more control, make them feel safer, and provide opportunities for nostalgia

Facebook is introducing these new features in most places, except in Canada and the EU where they don’t currently offer face recognition technology.

Most users on Facebook aren't thrilled with this feature, but it can be highly beneficial to marketers.

Each time you "tag" a photo on Facebook, its facial recognition technology learns more about what that person looks like, Even if you happen to "opt out" of the facial recognition tagging, Facebook's technology can surely use the tagged photos of you (hey, perhaps even the tagged photos of you that you end up un-tagging) to figure out what you look like.
