Privacy concerns about the Gallery app

I occasionally get notifications from the Gallery app that it's analysing stored photos to tag people's faces. Firstly, I'd like to know if the app does all of this offline or uploads anything to remote servers. Secondly, I'd like to turn off this feature, but currently there appears to be no toggle in the app's settings to do so.

Furthermore, the Gallery app itself is deployed as a system-app, making it impossible to disable it. I'd like to request that the app is made app-priv, thereby allowing it to be disabled.

Hi
The gallery's grouping features are happening only on your device, no data is transferred to Asus on this regard.
As LP already explained, you may turn off this feature - and when that is done, no grouping will be done.
If you wish to remove any previously grouped data - go into the app settings of the 'Gallery' app and clear cache/data for the app itself.
