If your Punch is successful, it will appear as **Synced** with the Date and Time stam&#x70;**.** Synced punches are shown in green color.

When your Punch is unsuccessful, it will appear as **Failed** with the Date and Time stam&#x70;**.** Failed punches are shown in red color.

### Face Detection

As of March 2025, all Selfie punches are subject to face detection. It means that if you click a picture that does not have a human face, the punch will fail to sync. Moreover, if the clicked picture contains more than 1 faces, that too will fail to sync.

### Face Recognition

Face Recognition is an addon service. Your organization may choose to enable this addon. In such cases, you need to register your face and the same will be matched with your selfie, every time you submit a selfie punch.

#### Face Registration Process

1. Do not wear accessories on face like sunglasses, hat, mask etc. Eyeglasses are fine.
2. Keep your eyes open while clicking the picture
3. Make sure your surroundings are well lit and not too dark
