The Photos app on iPhone uses facial recognition to group pictures by person, making it easier to find and organize photos. However, it is not always accurate and may misidentify faces, causing confusion. If you have been struggling to fix a misidentified face on your iPhone, do not worry. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you out.
How to Find Misidentified Faces on iPhone
To locate a misidentified face on your iPhone, open the Photos app and click on the “Albums” option at the bottom of the screen. Scroll up until you see the “People and Locations” section and click on the “People” box. This will show you a sub-album for each person Photos thinks it has identified in one or more photos. Select the face that has been misidentified to view all the photos in which it appears.
How to Fix Misidentified Faces on iPhone
To fix a misidentified face on your iPhone, follow these simple steps:
- Open the album associated with the misidentified face, and click on “Select” or “Please choose” located beneath the Memories video that appears at the top of the album.
- Select “Show Faces” which appears at the bottom of the page.
- Photos will show you the areas of each photo in which it thinks it sees that person’s face. Scroll down and tap on any photo where the face has been misidentified.
- Click on the “Parts” icon in the bottom left corner of the screen.
- Select the “Not This Person” icon from the Share menu that appears.
Tapping on the “Not This Person” icon will remove the association between the photo and the misidentified face and keep your friend’s face intact.
Remember that this process may take some time, especially if you have many photos with misidentified faces. However, it is essential to ensure that your photos are correctly organized and easy to find when you need them.
