how do I remove the "unnamed" circle from photos? It appears on all my pictures and I don't want this. I cannot seem to find how to turn off this feature

You cannot remove individually unnamed faces separately. You can only turn off the display of the named faces completely, as described by Nicholas_B2 . The face detection itself cannot be disabled, and we are no longer allowed to reject automatically detected faces at all like in the earlier versions of Photos. This has been the case since Photos 2.0 on macOS 10.12 Sierra.

Hello robert-charles,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

We understand that you want to remove the "unnamed" circle from your photos. If you go to the View menu in your Photos app and Show/Hide Face Names turned off, so it reads "Show Face Names".

Let us know if this works for you.

Best regards.
