Ooh - 'Hide Person' is back in Photos...on iOS.

Was faffing trying to get the merging two pet entries thing working and
decided to see if I could get it working via the phone instead. No joy, but
did stumble across this long dead feature - ‘Hide Person’.
In ye olden days of iPhoto, you could hide rather than delete a person. Ever since Photos, that went away. I still can’t see how to do that on a Mac in fact, if it’s at all possible. However, on the iPhone you can now go to the People and Pets section, hit ’Select’ at the top, select a person or people, and then hit the “...” option at the bottom. This brings up
Merge, Remove or...Hide. Select Hide is confusing - it bring up a prompt
asking you if you’re “sure you want to remove this person from People and Pets”. Was a bit concerned that meant deleting but no - if you select it
the person disappears from the People and Pets section. If you then hit
‘Add Person...’ at the bottom, you can still see them available.
Great. Definitely wanted that - have missed it ever since iPhoto. I can’t
see how to do it on the Mac, but the good news is that it syncs between the phone and the Mac so you get the same effect.
Cheers,
Ian
