Do you mean how to get Photos to search for faces or how you can search for faces that Photos has already identified?

Synchronizing faces in Photos I have a lot of pictures in my Photos app (my MacBook says 29,503 pictures, 84 videos, 1 element; my M1 Mini says 29,504 pictures plus 84 videos, so that 'element' probably is 1 strayed picture). Albums etc sync well, but this is not always the case with recognized faces. After adding a number of names to faces on the MacBook, I do not always find them back in the MIni. Is there a way to 'force recognize' them? Thanks a lot!

Add a Face does not work in MacOS 12.4 (21F79) Photos The Add a Face instructions do not work in MacOS 12.4 (21F79) Photos. The new circle for a face CANNOT be dragged "People: ... identify multiple people ... click the Add button and drag the face identifier over each person you want to identify" does not work. Instead a smaller view of the photo is dragged around the photo

What I've done in the past is to manually identify a couple of faces of each person that should be in the People's section. Then leave the library open and in the background and let Photos do its thing. Oh, and 🤞!
