Photos recognizing pet as person

I have an iPhone 15 Pro running ios 17.0.2. The Photos app created 2 albums of my dad's dog using the new pet recognition feature. However, I can't merge them together because he's labeled as a pet in one album and as a person in another. Is there any fix for this?

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17

Hello rsomp,


Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.


If it misidentifies him as a person, you can correct it and mark him as a pet using these steps:


"Fix misidentifications

  1. Open the Photos app  on your iPhone.
  2. Tap Albums, tap People & Pets, then tap the person or pet that’s misidentified.
  3. Tap Select, then tap Show Faces.
  4. Tap the images that are misidentified, tap the More button, then tap These are Not [name].

You can also fix misidentifications while viewing a photo in your library. Tap the Info button or swipe up to see the photo information. Tap the misidentified person or pet in the bottom-left corner of the photo, then tap This is Not [name]."


Additional details can be found here: Identify people and pets in Photos on iPhone


If the issue persists can you provide a few more details? Also, are you seeing duplicates of the same photos?


Cheers!
