Windows 10: Tagging photos in windows 10

Hi I used the photo app in windows 10 to tag people in my pictures. It worked great except, it doesn't tag every pictures. Since it doesn't, I wanted to tag some manually. I found that I can tag manually by going into pictures files. So I did that, EXCEPT the tags don't show up in the photos app. If there a way to tag my pictures that are not tagged thru the photo app but have them all show up in the app. I just want one place to go to sort my pictures by its tag.

Thank you

:)

tags or title for pictures / photos

Hello,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Title is used to get more information about the content, different documents will have different title.

You can add same tags for documents with different title to group them to together, which will help in searching the file with same tags. I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below to add tags or title to your image.

Steps:

1. Right click on the Image or photo you want to tag.
2. Select Properties.
3. Select Detail tab.
4. Under Description section, select
   tags or title.
5. Add your tags or title and click on
   Ok.

Note: You can add more than one tag to the same image or photo.

Hope it helps.
