Automatically add photos to the right Album

Is there an option to Automatically add photos with people to the right Album where the same person appears?

I know that in Google Photos it’s possible.

Thanks

After the initial scan additional scans may show some questionable selections, mostly with young children, and it asks you to make the determination.


If you need a more technical response to your question call the number at the bottom of this page and ask for a Photos technical supervisor. We're all end users like yourself here.

In a sense, yes. It's the People view. After a photo is scanned for facial recognition it will be added to the existing face groping that it belongs in.


There is another way but it's not automatic. You have to do some work: 1 - identify the people in the photo and add a keyword for each person; 2 - create a Smart Album for each person with the format: Keyword is "XXXXXX". Once you add a keyword to a photo it will automatically be included in that smart album.

Thank you for your reply.

Don't exactly understand : "It's the People view. After a photo is scanned for facial recognition it will be added to the existing face groping that it belongs in. "


In People view I can see all my people. I choose one for example and press this person. In the next page I press :

" Confirm Additional Photos " and Photos App find newer photos with this person.


Why do I need to manually find people instead of the Photos App ?
