Track processing: in progress, processed, error

Updated July 23, 2026

After upload, each photo goes through face analysis. It can be in one of three states:

Screenshot of the SHAREFT interface
StatusMeaning
In progressAnalysis is pending or running.
ProcessedThe photo is indexed and can be found through selfie search.
ErrorNo usable face was detected, or analysis failed.

Only processed photos turn up in selfie search results. In an open gallery, every photo shows regardless.

If a photo keeps landing in error, you'll get a notification in your account.

Tip: your browser kicks off the analysis. If you've just uploaded a very large batch, leave the tab open a little longer before closing it.
