How to turn Facebook face recognition off

Facebook has recently released a new facial recognition feature that identifies the user on network photos even when it is not marked. The idea behind the new feature is to suggest tags in friends' pictures, find out fakes using your profile photos, and help blind people understand who appears in the posts in the feed. The novelty is an evolution of the previous recognition system, which showed a list of friends to mark in the albums.

The novelty, however, may not please everyone because of privacy issues. So it's important to know how to turn it off. See in the tutorial how to prevent Facebook from identifying you in photos of third parties in the social network by PC and mobile.
