Merging duplicate people in photos

I have many photos and some people are tagged 2 different ways. One from my contact and then separate. How can I merge them together without going thru each photo and manually changing it?

Hi Cheri23,

I understand that you have a few people in Photos that are identified multiple times, and you'd like to merge them. I'm happy to provide some help for this.

Check out the steps here to merge them:

Photos for Mac: Find photos of people


Combine photos of a person into one group

Photos identifies people in new photos and adds them to the photos of people you’ve identified. If you find more than one group of photos that identify the same person, you can combine the groups into one.

  1. Select the groups of photos that you want to combine.

  2. Control-click one group, then choose Merge [number] People.
