### How to use Selfie Punch

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

{% hint style="success" %}
Make sure you have Workman version 7.5.20 or above to use face recognition feature.
{% endhint %}

Open Workman and tap on **Profile** icon from home screen.

Select **Face Registration** from menu items. (If you do not see Face Registration option, make sure you have updated the app to version. 7.5.20 or above)

If this is the first time you are registering your face, you will see a blank face indication as shown below:

Click on **Take a Selfie** button to take your selfie.

Rotate the camera to front camera if required.

If your phone has 1:1 photo mode, select the same for a square photo.

{% hint style="success" %}
Note these important points while taking selfie for face registration:

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
   {% endhint %}

Once you have clicked a picture, tap OK or Check mark to select. The face will be analyzed for quality checks and if found appropriate, the registered face will update on the same page. You can update your registered face using the same process again.&#x20;

To remove your selfie from system record, tap on **Remove Face** button.
