People aren't shown in people library

I made the initial process and many people get deducted. A few of them I want to see and a few of them not in the people library, so I made changes.


Now, I want to add a few more people. I select them on the pictures, give them a name but unfortunately they don't get shown.


What do I need to do?

MacBook Pro 16", macOS 10.15

Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, captainharry!


I understand you're not able to see people in the Faces section of Photos. I'd be happy to provide information that may help you solve this.


Check to see if this also happens within safe mode: Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac


Let us know the results.

Have a great day!

If a named face is not appearing in the "People" album, the album for this person may have become hidden.

To add the album back to the People album, find a photo of the person

  • ,then view the photo enlarged and and scroll up, so you can see the "People" section below the enlarged photo.
  • Click on the faces thumbnail of the person to open the hidden album for the person.
  • When the People album opens, scroll down to the bottom of the album and click "Add to People Album".

Now you should be able to see the detected faces of this person.
