#APPLE PHOTOS FIND UNNAMED FACES UPDATE#
We could prune it and keep it small by deleting all automatically detected faces that were no faces at all are the faxes of unknown strangers.Īfter the update to macOS 10.12.5, when Apple removed the ability to delete any automatically detected faces, my library with roughly 50000 photos had a list of more than 15000 unnamed faces, and 99% of them were faces that were of no interest to me. Previously, in Photos 1 and 2, the list of unnamed faces has been nice and easy to use. My guess is, that Apple removed the list of unnamed faces in High Sierra, because it is totally unusable in a large library, now that we can no longer delete the faces that we do not want. This is beyond annoying, why did they delete this feature? Hope this helps, and let's hope apple addresses this functionality deficit soon.
#APPLE PHOTOS FIND UNNAMED FACES MANUAL#
This will be quicker initially than the first option above, but with the drawback that you'll need to recreate the "Named" album once you've assigned names to the photos in the smart album, whereas the first option takes more time to set up initially but will then be a smart album without a static element that needs manual updating. Create a smart album with a rule "Album" -> "is not" -> "Named".Drag the selected people into the "Named" album.Select "People" album in the sidebar, and then select all.Create a normal album and call it something like "Named".
One drawback of this approach is it will exclude photos with multiple people in them if any of the people are named, I have approx 40 000 photos in my library and the smart album opens in less than 1 second.
