Re-recognizing faces in Photos app on iPhone

in my Photos, Two people have been recognized and grouped together in the same category in People. I want to delete the recognition of these two people so that my iPhone can re-recognize their faces and differentiate between them. Is there a way to do this?”

Go to the People album that has these guys in it, select-all, and choose More (...) and choose "These are not"


If they are, say, Dean and Jerry, and maybe People has them both as Jerry, I wouldn't use Jerry when re-naming them. I'd use, maybe, Martin and Lewis, or something that won't confuse Photos with a name it already thinks it knows.


Does that do what you want?
