Are people in the Photos app supposed to sync between macOS and iOS? Is this a broken feature or not supported? Someone please tell me that Apple does not expect me to organize People over and over again on all my devices? That would be pretty ridiculous. I've never used the Faces feature in previous versions for that very reason.
You're welcome 🙂
People do not sync across devices. Using the posted link, the following statement is near the top of the page: "Note: People identified in the People album aren’t synced across devices. The People feature isn’t available on iPhone 5."
I agree with the statements here.. Totally a waste of time. So much for the Apple Ecosystem...
Ok - very simple solution - use a system and software that you like - it is crazy to use stuff you hate and then complain about it

Thank you for your clarification, this missing functionality is a real shame as I have 17000 photos and want to easily identify people on each device
Hi. This feature does not currently sync across devices, but it will do as soon as iOS 11 and MacOS High Sierra are released in the autumn/fall.

oops! you're right, didn't see that one
This is not supported and is clearly a huge oversight and not something that would ever have been launched incomplete if Steve jobs was alive...?????
I just reset my people albums on both my Mac and iPad; for what I can see the people album is syncing between iOS devices, but not between iOS, macOS.
People only sync if you have High Sierra on your Mac and IOS 11 on your IOS devices as documented in this thread

Do People in the Photos app sync?
