Cách gắn thẻ khuôn mặt của người khác trong ứng dụng ảnh của Apple trên iPhone, iPad và Mac

Organizing your photos can be a headache. Once you add so many photos, things can become unwieldy, complicating the process of finding the right picture.

Luckily, the Photos app can detect faces in your photos, allowing you to tag and group pictures of people in your photos. Here’s how to tag people’s faces in Apple’s Photo App.

How to Tag Someone’s Face in the Photos App

Once you’ve added pictures to your photo library, your iPhone or Mac will scan them for faces. This is done on-device, so your privacy stays intact. This is one way your Mac protects your privacy. If you use iCloud Photos, these tags will even sync across all your Apple devices while preserving your privacy.

Tagging Faces in the Photos App on an iPhone or iPad

To tag someone in a photo on your iPhone, here’s what you need to do:

1. Scroll to a photo that contains a person you’d like to tag.
2. Press the Info (i) icon at the bottom or swipe up on the photo.
3. If the Photos app has identified a face, you’ll see a little circle icon with the face in the lower-right corner of the image. A blue circle with a question mark inside means the face has not yet been tagged. Tap on it.
4. Select Name This Person from the context menu.
5. On the next screen, name them and hit Next.

Now, this person’s tagged photos will appear in your People album. Your iPhone will do its best to discover more pictures of this person and automatically tag them based on facial analysis.

Tagging Faces in the Photos App on a Mac

To tag someone’s face in the macOS version of the Photos app, follow these steps:

1. Open a photo with a face you’d like to tag in Apple’s Photos app.
2. Click the Info (i) button from the toolbar in the upper-right corner. An Info window will pop up with details about the photo. Any faces found in the photo will be listed below the keyword field.
3. Double-click the face you’d like to tag.
4. Now, you’ll see Add Name in the top-left corner.

You can also click View in the menu bar and select Show Face Names so that the next time you open a picture, all the faces will be circled. If you’ve already tagged faces, those faces will have names below them. Click the box below to the circled face to add or change a name.

If your Mac doesn’t recognize a face in a photo, you can open the Information pane and hit the plus (+) circle on it. A new circle will appear in the middle of the photo. You can drag this around the face you’d like and tag it.

How to Find Photos by Tagged Faces in Apple Photos

Now that you have a face or two tagged, finding photos of those faces will become much more manageable. Finding a particular picture of someone becomes a breeze.

Finding Tagged Photos on an iPhone or iPad

All the tagged faces are arranged in a photo album called People. You can find all the faces you have tagged and some that your device has identified for tagging. Select an album to see all the tagged photos of a particular person.

By default, Photos will show you a collage of images of that person, hiding some if they look similar. If you’d like to see all the photos of that person tagged so far, tap on Show More below the highlighted photo.

You can also look at other faces that your iPhone thinks might be the person tagged in the album. Tap the ellipsis (…) icon at the top-right corner and select Confirm Additional Photos. Your iPhone will show you photos that it thinks might be the person you’ve tagged. Confirm by tapping Yes or No.

Once you have tagged people in photos, they will also show up when you search for their names in the Photos app or Spotlight search on your iPhone.

Finding Tagged Photos on a Mac

Select the People album from the Photos app’s sidebar to view all your tagged faces. Photos will display all the tagged images here and any face grouped waiting for a tag.

You can also do a multi-level search using the search bar at the top. For example, you can search for someone taken at a particular location or wearing a specific shirt. This can expedite finding a particular picture.

Once you’re inside someone’s tagged album, if you scroll down all the way to the bottom, you’ll see the option to Confirm Additional Photos of that person. Click that to see all the photos your Mac thinks are the tagged person for you to confirm or deny.

Of course, you can also use Spotlight search on your Mac to find people you have tagged. However, if you’ve moved your photo library to an external drive, you won’t be able to search using Spotlight anymore.

How to Edit a Tagged Face From the People Album in Apple Photos

While your iPhone and Mac rely on machine learning algorithms to find people’s faces, it can get faces wrong sometimes. Unfortunately, it doesn’t always tag the correct person, or you might have misidentified a face. We’ll teach you how to fix the incorrect tag below.

Editing a Tagged Face in Photos on an iPhone or iPad

If you find an incorrectly tagged photo on your iPhone or iPad, you have two ways to correct it.

Find the photo and swipe up to reveal the tagged faces. Tap the small circle at the bottom-left corner of the image representing the tagged person. Then, choose This Is Not (Person’s Name) from the context menu.

Alternatively, you can head to the People album and select the person incorrectly tagged. In the list of all their photos, find the one that has been incorrectly tagged. Then, long-press the photo in the list and select This is Not (Person’s Name).

Sometimes, your iPhone might find enough differences between photos of one person that it makes multiple albums. Luckily, they made it simple to combine these photos.

Go to the People album to combine two or more albums of the same person. Then, press the select button in the top right. Now, select the albums you’d like to combine and tap Merge at the bottom-right corner.

Editing a Tagged Face in Photos on a Mac

If someone has been incorrectly tagged on the Mac, you can head to their photo, click View > Show Face Names from the menu bar, and then type the correct name under their face.

You can also visit the People album and select the tagged person. Find the incorrectly tagged picture and Control-click it. From the context menu, select This Is Not (Person’s Name).

If your Mac shows two or more albums of the same person, you can combine them from the People album. Hold down the Command key and select all the albums of the same person. Control-click and choose Merge X People (X being the number of albums you selected).

Tag People to Find Photos Easily

Tagging your friends, colleagues, and family members in photos can give you an edge in photo management. With this, you’ll be able to find people’s photos quickly and efficiently. It’s one of the many ways to master the built-in Photos app on your Apple device.
