Photo tagging downloaded pics

How do I tag people in pics that I downloads from iMessage? My daughter sends me pics of the grandchildren which I subsequently download into my iPhoto file. When I try to tag the grandchildren inside iPhoto, I am not given the option as I would with a photo I took myself. Any help will be appreciated.

Hello rmr41898,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Try manually tagging them using the guidance in Use the People album in Photos on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support.


"Put a name to a face

Photos suggests names from your Contacts, but you can manually add a name to someone that's already in your People album: Here's how:

  1. Open the People album, then tap the thumbnail of the person that you want to name.
  2. Tap Add Name at the top of the screen.
  3. Type the person's name or select their name if it shows up.
  4. Tap Next, then tap Done."


Take care.
