How to ignore unnamed people in photos

I have lots of unnamed people in photos.

How can I make photos to ignore them ?

Thanks.

Please see example ( I've covered faces )

Hi


What do you mean by ignore. Do you want to hide those photos completely?


Or do you just not want to see the face name circles. If the latter, is is unfortunatly not possible to selectively show only face names for named people. You can either show all face names, or none, from the view menu. I tend to leave face names switched off, except when I am working with or using them.

You may want to send a feature request to Apple to add the possibility to reject or hide the faces circles of people we do not want to name, strangers in the background or artifacts, that are no people at all. It is annoying to have to have to hide all names, just to hide the superfluous unknown names. It is an extra step to have to turn the names on, just to be able to see what the people are called. The names are not even shown in the Info. Feedback - Photos - Apple
