Changing Facial Recognition Name

the facial recognition has confused my Grandson’s names and faces on my new IPhone 8. How do I edit them both?

Photos seems to have a problem to keep the faces of close relatives apart. I would not invest too much work right now into fixing misidentified faces and wait for an update.


You can try to do it this way: https://help.apple.com/iphone/11/#/iph9c7ee918c

Remove a misidentified person. Tap a person in the Photos album, then tap Show More to see all photos they appear in. Tap Select, tap Show Faces, then tap the misidentified face. Tap the Share button,then tap Not This Person.

But several users reported, that Photos keeps merging the same persons over and over again.
