How can I add my pets to the People & Pets collection?

I have albums with the names and photos of each of my pets but their pictures do not come up in ’people and pets’ so I can add them

Apple's AI picks out things it recognizes a faces, makes albums of those, and allows you to identify them. But, as you see, it doesn't get everyone we'd like. While it's possible to manually add face ids on a Mac, that isn't there in iOS or iPadOS.


Have you thought about making your own Album? Back before digital photography (!) I had a dog named Brogan who only gets 3 pictures in a People & Pets album. But I have gone through and found way more pictures of Brogan, and I created an Album named Brogan with all those pictures:

Then I put that album in Pinned Collections using the Modify menu, there. I used Customize & Reorder at the bottom of the Photos window to ensure that the Pinned Collection section came right after People & Pets.


Would that work for you?
