Q: Unwanted features and apps with updates
I recently updated and found changes to Photos that I hate, and seem to have permanently altered a program I liked as it was. Is there a way to turn this off?
I do not want to auto-scan to group faces or places. The only faces it grouped were stock images of a woman I've never met.
It messes up my little folder system, with two folders I have no intention of using.
Stop giving me "features" and apps I have no use for.
iPad Mini, iOS 10

To get unwanted "Persons" out of the way, you can hide the persons you are not interested in, but you cannot prevent your iPhone from processing the photos for the faces scan, and you cannot hide the memories and Persons albums.
See the User Guide: http://help.apple.com/iphone/10/#/iph9c7ee918c
Hide and unhide people. Tap Albums, tap People, tap Select, tap the people you want to hide, then tap Hide. To unhide people, tap Show Hidden People, tap Select, tap people, then tap Unhide. Photos that contain hidden people don’t appear in Moments, Collections, Years, and Memories but are visible in albums.
