Apple Photos managed to combine my father and my wife in people’s and pets, seriously Apple

  • Post category:Apple / Photos

I have previously written about the problems with People and Pets and my dogs. It keeps tagging Indiana Bones photos (who is dead) to pictures of Pepper Pawtts over and over again. Super frustrating. It really needs the ability to add deceased and born tags. Or take into account keywords?

Well now I have a new problem that is seriously frustrating. I have been going through People and Pets and getting it all setup with contact info for my closets family and friends. Well as of yesterday it combined my wife and my father.

Now my wife is Kelly Lynn Pancho Walker and my dad is Kelly Deanne Walker. And I had them setup correctly and attached to their individual contacts. And they seriously look nothing alike!

And the best part is going through and telling it that my dad is not my wife doesn’t seem to transfer between devices. Over the past 2 days I have had to do the same thing on my computer, iPad and iPhone, and multiple times on some of the devices. And I keep going back and finding more photos of my dad tagged to my wife!

And unlike old versions of photos where I could tag people myself, now you have to let Photos do it, so I have no way to retag photos of my father as himself! And he doesn’t show up as his own person. WTf!

Apple makes things simpler which is fine until they don’t work! And this new feature is not ready for prime time!
