iPhone does not recognize a person's face in a photo

I want to add a photo to an album where all the photos are of a person's face, but when I click on i, it doesn't show the face icon with a question mark. is there any other way to add a photo to an album with a person's face or somehow make the iPhone recognize the face icon on the photo?


iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16

Leonie- you wrote a post in 2020 offering a script that would, in batch, write the titles of photos (created in Photos/Mac) into the caption field so that the title could be seen on iPhone or iPad. I'm posting the url of that post below. Sorry but this is the only way I could find you and ask you this question although I realize it is not on this topic. So my question is- will that batch phot captioning script still work today in November 2023 with MAC OS Ventura 13.6? I'm not a regular on this forum so not really sure how it works but please try to find a way to contact me... thanks! Photo Titles on iPad (IOS) - Apple Community

That is very limiting, isn't it?

I do not need to tag the faces of people I am meeting frequently. For those I can recognize the face myself, when I am seeing the photo. I need the People album to remember the names of the people I have met only once and will probably never meet again. For many of my ancestors I have just one single photo, also for people I met when travelling. The People album would be much more useful on the mobile devices, if we could manually add the people we want to remember, even if there is only one, but very precious, photo of them.
