    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.

    iPhone Camera Roll has over 70,000 pics/vids synced from Photos app. How do I remove them?

    My iPhone Camera Roll has over 70,000 pics/vids that were somehow synced from my Photos app. Mind you this phone is only 64GB. Hell no it can fit all those files in there. I don't know how or why it took all my pics and vids from my Photos app from my iMac, but it definitely slows down my phone...

    Do Faces sync now & would I have to resync after full release?!

    This is a question to everyone that has deployed iOS11 beta. My concern is that Faces may sync during the beta period but then need to resync after full release. Also, does anyone know how iCloud handles Face syncing when consolidating from photos tagged on different devices? Does it act...

    Photos trying to re upload entire iCloud photo library. Please help!

    Hi all, I recently noticed that Photos (the macOS app) had been stuck on 'Uploading 499 Items' for a few days. Following advice I found on various forums, I unchecked and rechecked the 'iCloud Photos Library' box in Photos preferences. I thought it would resume uploading the same 499 items, but...

    Some photos I duplicated are gone

    Hi, I guess you're all aware of the "duplicate" button inside the Photos app on iOS. So recently, I've duplicated a few photos that I really liked to edit those duplicates inside the Photos app (I like to keep several versions of the same photo to be able to compare). However, when I imported...

    Camera/photos: option to use JPEG instead of HEIF?

    Hi there! I've been an avid Public Beta Tester for a year now and haven't regretted it, sending in dozens of reports. Using iOS 11 as a daily driver scares me away. And in a big way. Simply because I'm taking a lot of photos with my phone and enjoy doing so. Apple's announcement to shift from...

    Getting away from iPhoto/Photos

    Does anyone know if there is a way to export all my pictures out of Photos without losing the metadata, like the date taken? I know I can export the unmodified originals but I'd rather not lose all of the edits I've made over the years. According to Apple support, there may be some other piece...

    Importing Photos albums from iTunes to iPad won't work anymore?

    I use Photos (OS X) to keep my comics library organized and read them on my iPad mini using Photos (iOS). After iOS10, iTunes downloads my photos to my Photos app (iPad) from my Photos app (OS X), but the albums don't show. Any advice?

    "Taken on this day" Photo Notifications

    I hope this is posted in the right place. I'm a fan of Facebook's "memories" or "taken on this day" photo notifications where it'll show a photo you've posted x number of years ago. It's a really great use of photos posted, I think. Instead of never seeing them again, you see them every year on...
