Photos scans all the pictures to find things it recognizes as faces, and then it lets you name some. Then others that look like that get the same name. Things that are not recognized as faces by Photos cannot be named.
So, you need a picture of yourself, with most of your face visible, and not too tiny, so that Photos can see a face, there. Then you can name yourself, and it will make an album for you.
If there are recognized faces in a picture, then the info window will have little face icons. When you pick one
you can choose to name that person.

Happy that you are not having any problems. I am also running the latest software version. As to why this bug is present in some phones and not others is beyond my paygrade. Technology...I love it...when it works. Apple support suggested that it will likely be fixed in 18.4 update. Fingers crossed.
Thanks, Richard, for your reply. Unfortunately, my phone does not behave in the way you describe. I spoke to Apple support and, apparently, this is a known bug with no current fix.
All the best!
Since it seems to work for me, I wonder what the "bug" is in? I have iOS 18.3.1 on my iPhone 16. Hmm.
