I have tried charging my iPhone over night and restarting countless times and resetting the people and pets suggestions but it didn’t work even my “For you” just keep telling me connect to power to scan.

Hello chukwudi20,


If your People & Pets album is not working, make sure the device has met these conditions: If you can’t find pets in the People & Pets album in Photos


It looks like Apple states the following about the setup process:


Your iPhone or iPad must be locked and connected to power during the detection process. This process could happen quickly or take up to a few days to complete.


Now if it has been weeks since you tried setting up the album and it's still detecting, you'll want to contact Apple and report that issue: Get Support


Cheers!
