Updating People... (Apple Photos App)

"People will finish updating when Photos is in the background."


What does 'background' mean? The window open but minimized, the app not open at all?


Still a newbie to Mac 😂


macOS 11.2.3


Any assistance would be sincerely appreciated, thank you.

Hi jasonflying,


We understand your Mac is currently identifying people using the Photos App. You're receiving the background message due to the identifying process not being completed yet. This article provides more information on the process.


Find and identify photos of people using Photos on Mac


Have a good day.
