How to Get the Photos App to Stop Showing You People You Don't Want to See

This article will tell you how and why to use Suggest Less in the People album of your Photos app. The People album on your iPhone can be full of all sorts of wonderful suggestions of photos to look at and memories to revisit. But, like anything based on algorithms, it doesn't always hit the mark. It's helpful to tag faces in the People album on your iPhone because you can search and keep track of the people in your photos easily, but just because you tag someone doesn't mean you want their picture popping up in a memory. Memory videos of your family can be wonderful, but you don't need a whole collage of that acquaintance that shows up at all the same events as you. Luckily, you can tell Photos to Suggest Less of any person tagged on your phone, and make sure only your top people are regularly suggested to you. Let's dive in!
