Photos app misidentifies me Photos app has misidentified me as my cousin. Our names used to be correct until I got a new iPhone 16 Pro. There are over 300 photos of me that Photos shows with incorrect name. I know how to correct one by one but I don’t have the patience to correct hundreds individually. I have corrected 5 so far. It seems like A I has enough info to start automatic correction but that isn’t happening.

How to separate two people mistakenly tagged as one in Photos app? Somehow, Photos has decided I and my son are the same person - all photos of either him or me are marked with my name. I am resigned to manually changing the thousands of incorrect pictures, and hope that new pictures will be scanned correctly. The problem I can’t figure out is photos where both he and I appear. Only one of us is identified as a person: in a picture of the two us there is only one person identified, a group picture will have either him or me identified as me, and the other not identified as a person. A picture of both of us and 2 other people will only show 3 faces. (Devices available are iPad, iPhone and MacBook) [Re-Titled by Moderator] Original Title: Separating two People in Photos

You should make it forget both of you completely, and then use names different from the ones you used before-- at least for a while (you can change them back later.) Use Pat this time instead of Patricia, for instance.

Facial recognition is a weird thing, so be prepared…
