How do I add someone as a person on photos?

To add someone as a person in your photos application, you typically open a photo of them and then use the information button to identify and name their face. This process helps your photo app organize and group images by the individuals or pets featured in them.

Step-by-Step Guide to Naming People and Pets in Photos

Identifying and naming people or pets in your photo library is a simple process that enhances your ability to manage and search your memories. Follow these detailed steps to add and name an individual or pet:

1. Open the Target Photo:

   • Start by navigating to and opening a specific photo that clearly shows the person or pet you want to identify and name.

2. Access the Information Button:

   • Look for the Info button (often depicted as an "i" in a circle).
   • Tap this Info button to reveal additional details and options for the photo.
   • Within the information panel, you will likely see faces detected in the photo. Tap on the face of the person or pet that has a question mark over it. This signifies an unrecognized face.

3. Name the Person or Pet:

   • Once you tap the unrecognized face, you'll be prompted to "Name This Person" or "Name This Pet."
   • Type the correct name into the provided field.
   • If your photo application suggests a name (perhaps from your contacts or based on previously identified faces), you can simply tap the suggested name if it is accurate.

4. Confirm Your Entry:

   • After entering or selecting the appropriate name, tap Done to save the identification.

Following these steps allows your photos application to create a profile for that individual or pet, making it easier to find all photos of them in the future.
