removing tags from automatically tagged photos

All of my photos now show "tag" boxes, even of unknown people. I don't want that. How do I change?

Why doesn’t Photos on iPhone allow me to add tags (keywords)? I noticed today that there is no way to add tags (keywords, labels) in Photos on the iPhone. You can add captions, adjust place and time, tune people identification, and use markup to add text, but you can’t classify your photos with words that suit you. I can’t understand why Apple would not have this fundamental feature in Photos to easily help people organize their images. It’s tempting to think of evil corporate strategies to make us consume more iCloud storage and keep us scrolling for more minutes on our iPhones. I can’t believe they didn’t think about it. It’s possible they may not wish to add features that could be confusing or misused. I can’t think of a technical reason.

Are you asking about Photos on a Mac or on an iPhone or iPad? If you do no longer want to see the names on the faces in Photos for Mac, use the command "View > Hide Face names". This will remove the overlay with the name tags.
