Photos faces not working properly.

Specs: OS 10.12.2; Photos 2.0


Faces in Photos does not scan add photos and when I try to add a face the circle will not move from the center of the photo.


The problem exists on both my iMac and MacBook Pro.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, iOS 10.2.1

If that happens and you cannot adjust the faces circle, restart Photos.

Sometimes you have to restart the Mac as well.

You're welcome 🙂


I'm astonished that you are still having this problem on macOS Sierra 10.12.2. I had this problem frequently with Photos on Yosemite and El Capitan with the old Faces feature, but did not see it any longer after the 10.12.2 update of Sierra. So it looks like it is still not fixed.
