Help with naming person/pet in Photos

I accidentally clicked on This is not “Name” of pet and now I can’t figure out how to get the option back as Photos app doesn’t not recognize that person/pet…. Even after taking more recent photos of the person/pet… Am I able to get this feature back?

Thank you in advance!

iOS 17 Pets feature not working The new feature in iOS 17 that recognizes pets is not working on any of my devices. I have done the following: updated all devices to iOS 17 looked for the “people places and pets” section in photos (it just says “people and places”) tried manually adding a pet. The button that should appear to add a pet doesn’t appear in the bottom left of the photo, despite IOS recognizing there is a cat in the photo. I have an 11 Pro, but I wouldn’t think this would be the reason. Perhaps photos needs to index my library for pets and it will show up eventually? I did some searching online, but didn’t come across anything that would explain this. Any help or insight would be most appreciated!

Photos App not finding new faces in People and Pets I am having trouble getting the app to automatically find new faces in the People and Pets section. At the bottom it reads Finding People .... but never stops and never finds new faces or people. When double clicking on a person and then at the bottom Review more photos - there are no more photos to review which is not true. It's just not working. Please help me.

How do I add photos to a pet/person Maybe add a feature where you can click on review photos and then there’s a plus icon in a corner where it lets you add photos to the person

It sorted itself out, I think? Thank you anyway!

Sometimes you just have to wait. Photos takes it's time for some things…
