Recover hidden People album

How do I recover (or unhide) the People album in Photos on iphone 7? I deleted it instead of merging it with my own people album.

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 10.2.1

Hello Steinway88,

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.

I see that you would like to recover (or unhide) the People album in the Photos app.

It's not possible to remove, or delete, the People album. But you can hide and unhide people, and show hidden people. Please see iPhone User Guide - Photos People , specifically:

Hide and unhide people. Tap Albums, tap People, tap Select, tap the people you want to hide, then tap Hide. To unhide people, tap Show Hidden People, tap Select, tap people, then tap Unhide. Photos that contain hidden people don’t appear in Moments, Collections, Years, and Memories but are visible in albums.

Show hidden people. Tap Albums, tap People, swipe up, then tap Show Hidden People. To view all photos with hidden people, tap Albums, then tap Hidden.

Let me know if you have any questions.
Cheers.
