In Photos on iOS 10, I've noticed that some photos are grouped together with faces that are similar, but not the same person. How do I separate these photos or "unconfirm" them from the assigned name? Thanks.
iPhone 6s, iOS 10
Howdy SoCal Cal,
It sounds like you need to change an identification you made in the Faces feature in Photos on iOS 10. These instructions should do the trick:
Fix mixed-up names and faces
If you notice that there's a photo of someone in a collection that's misidentified, you can remove it.
- Tap the person that you want to remove in the People album > Select.
- Tap Show Faces to focus on just the person’s face in each photo.
- Tap each photo that isn't of the person.
- Tap
> Not This Person.

Right, I've noticed some pictures where it will recognize multiple people, but I have many pictures of me holding my son as a newborn, for example, and it only recognizes me.
Face detection is a very challenging task. Apple improved the face detection vastly, but it simply still not as good as the human brain in recognizing faces in a photo. It is amazing that such a complicated algorithm can run on an iPhone at all.
I was hoping I'd be able to add him so that the photo would display in both of our albums under the "people" tab.
You can do it on Mac, but not yet on an iPhone.
had an album on my previous phone, which I created within the photos app, for all the photos of my son. When I setup up my new phone using my backup, that album is gone. If I search for it under "albums" I can find it, but that seems to be the only way to access it.
If you can find all photos of your son this way, select them and create the album again from the selection.
From what I understand, I don't think the software works to NOT have more than one face in a circle. Like you said, "When a picture has three people A, B, and C each face will be found separately so you could later find that group shot searching for any one person." If that is the case then why would it work to not have more than one person? This is exactly why I want it to recognize multiple faces, and in most pictures it did. There are many pictures of me, my wife and son and it recognized all three of us. This way I can go into either of our names and find that one photo under the "People" tab. However, if there's a picture of me and my son and it only recognizes one of us, it would be nice to be able to manually add the second face.

Send a feature request to Apple to add the ability to add more faces, if the face detection does not find all of them.
