    Tagging people in photos


    I note most of the comments around this topic do not give a resolution - they are around 12 months old - has Windows not yet addressed this? Still can't tag people faces by name and search for just pictures with them in it?

    :)

    People tagging in Photo Preview app

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    Please note that tagging in Photos app is based on Artificial intelligence (AI) which means once you tag a person it should search for similar faces and tag them in all the Pictures and also create a contact in people’s app. Just make sure that
    you are signed in with your Microsoft account using which you tagged the people earlier. AI should take some time, however the tags should appear if it was signed to your Microsoft account.



    So to have a better understanding of the issue, please write back with the following information:



      1. Are you signed in using the same Microsoft account on both the devices?
      2. Which version of Windows is installed on your device?
      3. Which version of photos app is installed on your device?


    Regards,

    Tagging people in photos

    MS Photos, People Tags

    I have been using the MS Photos app for a long time and I had not seen this issue.......but now after a clean install because of a computer crash the "People" Tab did not show the "Start Tagging" button when I first opened it and I only show a few people that have been automatically tagged by the app. I have a few thousand pictures on my computer so I know I should have more tagged than there are. Is there any way to trigger the "Start Tagging" button so it can find everyone? Thanks in advance.....
