Step 2: Open Edit Mode

Within edit mode, you’ll be presented with various tools and filters. Swipe through these to find the Face Detective option (looks like two faces). Tap on this tool to initiate facial recognition.
Step 4: Identify Individuals in Your Photo
The iPhone’s advanced algorithms will attempt to identify individual faces within your image. If successful, you’ll see a faint outline of each person’s face with names above them if they are recognized.
Step 5: Select the Individual(s) You Want to Add
Choose the individuals you’d like to add as subjects in your photo by tapping their respective name tags or selecting their outlined faces directly on the image. You can choose multiple people at once; simply tap each individual’s face tag repeatedly for adding more people.
Step 6: Edit Your Added Subject(s)
Once all selected, you’ll see a “New” button below the main edit view with an arrow pointing towards the added subject’s outline (s). Tap this to enter editing mode specifically for your chosen subjects. You can:
- Adjust their faces and poses by using various sliders or tapping specific points.
- Enhance smile lines and add filters.
