How to find unidentified people in photos

How do you find unidentified people in photos? Before, in older versions, you use to be able to scroll to the bottom of "Faces" and see the unidentified people. It's gone now.

Which system version do you have installed? In Photos 5.0 on Catalina you can find unnamed faces like this:

How to find all Unnamed Face in Photos 5 Catalina


The strip of unnamed faces vanished with the upgrade to High Sierra, when Apple started to sync the faces with iCloud Photos Library. At that time the handling of faces changed considerably. It is now impossible to reject detected faces. We can no longer delete the faces of strangers or statues, or artefacts, that look like a face. So a list of unnamed faces will be pointless, because we can no longer weed it out. It will always she showing thousands of irrelevant faces. Looking for a face we want to name in this list will be like searching for a needle in a hay stack.
