Wrong Person Appears in People File - macOS Monterey

How do I correct photo favorite's content?


Photos of other persons are appearing on People's Favorite files. On macOS Monterrey, when I select a person in Peoples favorites different persons' photo appears. Interestingly, the photo's circle label shows the other person's name, i.e.: Emily on Alice's favorite file. It may be that since both sisters looked alike when they were babies, I may have misidentified them when tagging the photos while identifying additional photos.

I am unable to remove the incorrect person's (Emily) photo from the correct (Alice) person's photo favorite file. Using the "This is not Alice" option at the bottom of the page did not remove Emily's photo from Alice's favorite file either.


Additional Info:

  • I synchronize selected photos to the iPhone and iPad.
  • The same photo appears in both, Alice and Emily's favorites.

iMac 24″, macOS 12.5
