hen you delete a photo from the People album it will be deleted completely from your Photos Library and the photo will be gone. Is that what you want to do? Or do you just want to remove the photo from the album, but keep the photo in your library?


If you just want to remove the face from the album, do this: Find people in Photos on iPad - Apple Support

  1. In the People album, tap a person, then tap Show more to see all photos they appear in.
  2. Tap Select, then tap Show Faces.
  3. Tap the misidentified face.
  4. Tap , then tap Not This Person.


To delete a photo from your library while viewing the faces, tap the photo in the people album to view it enlarged, then tap the trash can icon.
