once connected to the VPN, open the application of Google Photos. We go to settings and we’ll see as we activate the new function Agripar faces similar. At that point we can disconnect the VPN and to uninstall TunnelBear VPN. From that time will always be available the facial recognition Google Photos. There will be more to do this trick.
