The power of cell phones is that once you unbox them and fire up the camera app, you can immediately take photos and videos with them. Just aim at the scene and press the shutter, anytime and (almost) anywhere. But the result will also look like that. So it takes some thought to make your images as pleasing as possible. And from that, here is our series Taking photos with an iPhone, in which we show you everything you need. Now let's look at how to search for people in the Photos app. 

In the Photos app, you can search your photo library for faces that appear in multiple photos. Those that are repeated the most, he then adds the title to the People album. When you assign names to such faces, you can search for specific people in photos by their names. iCloud Photos will continuously update the People album on all your devices that meet the minimum system requirements, i.e. iOS 11, iPadOS 13, or macOS 10.13 or later. Of course, you must be signed in with the same Apple ID on all devices.
