    People Album in Photos App

    Hi. I hate when Apple scans all my photos and adds my face to the People album. I fed up seeing my and others’ face when I open the Photos App and fed up entering to the People album all the time and delete them from there over and over again! But Apple does not give up and adds the persons...

    Two people and One Watch…

    Sounds like the beginning of a bad joke. In any case, does an Apple Watch have a way of tracking *two* people's walks separately? My spouse and I often walk at different times and it would be good to track those separately. Neither of us normally wears a watch, but we'd value the fall feature...

    Review Confirmed Photos Showing Old Photos No Longer in iCloud

    Photos > Albums > People > Person > Review Confirmed Photos Not only are the photos on my device (iCloud) showing up, but also old photos that have long been deleted from iCloud. Does Apple save these thumbnails even after the original photos are deleted?

    Which is it?! This is VERY confusing...

    These screen shots are pulled from my MacBook Air, but my phone says it's processing photos, also. Sometimes I get the first message, "People will finish updating when Photos is in the background." and other times I'll get the second message. "To finish updating your people, quit Photos and make...

    All Devices iOS's Photos' "People" Facial Recognition UI is absolutely terrible and frustrating.

    The good: iOS's facial recognition is IMHO "pretty good". And with all ML models, it gets better as you identify more people, too. The bad: When it makes a mistake, the UI makes it a massive pain to correct. In my case, there's a large volume of mistakes, and it's just absolutely impossible...

    Photos app automatically merging two separate people

    I want to know if anyone else has seen this bug. Also, I did submit a bug report to apple, but I do not expect that to go anywhere... In the photos app I have my father's person/face defined and my son's person/face defined. I connected each of them to the contact I have for each. The contacts...

    Photos crashes every time in People when I click on one particular person

    Hi there, every time I click on one person's people/faces folder, it just immediately crashes. I've tried repairing my photos library many times, but alas, the problem still exists. Any ideas? Thanks! See below first few lines of my error report: Process: Photos [27800] Path...

    Resolved iOS 11 GM - How to add people to "People" album in Photos app

    Has anyone figured out how to ADD new people to the "People" album in the Photos app? I've let it run with the power connected to the point where I no longer get the "Scanning photos.." message at the bottom. But for the life of me I can't figure out how to add new people to this album.

    [Photos.app] Face detection, handeling strangers

    I recently migrated photo management from doing everything with finder to using the photos app. And for the most part I am very pleased with it. Of course I wanted to tag my family & friends using the people function, so that I can quickly recall pictures regarding specific people. But as we...

    Clarification needed: facetags preserved or not?

    I've been searching the forums and the web for a clear answer to this but am finding contradictory results. When going from El Cap to Sierra, are existing facetags (1) completely lost, (2) preserved but separate from the People functionality, (3) merged into People? I'm not so worried about the...

    Wondering if anyone else is seeing this on the GM (16A319)? When deleting faces that have been automatically found by Photos, a blank gray thumbnail is left behind on the "Add People" screen. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Photos in 10.12 GM 2. Allow Photos to finish scanning for faces if it has...

    People vs. Faces in Photos

    Are these two the same concept but re-branded and resold under a new moniker? And if so, has anyone found that their existing Faces that they've spent so much time categorizing gets carried over to the People part of the new MacOS/iOS systems? I'm sorting out People now on my iPhone and it is an...
