    In fairness, can you imagine how complex the coding would have to be in order for any program to recognize him? Granted, it’s amazing that any software (that’s literally a bunch of 1s & 0s or offs & ons), to somehow get the combination of things strait to be able to detect what is a face, instead of a car or other objects.
     
    Funny thing though, I was able to get some facial recognition software to recognize the face of my GFs cat stuck in a piece of bread… lol

    And not just iOS. I am white, my wife black. Picasa has similar problems with finding black faces, although it is pretty good at recognition once it has found them. To be fair, it has got a lot better, but it is still not as good on black faces as white. A lot depends on the contrast in the picture, of course, albinos might be tricky also.
