If there’s someone in your People view you no longer want to see, you can easily hide their profile. You can also unhide them at any time if you change your mind.
Can I Delete a People Profile?
Right now, there’s no way to delete a People profile once a face has been recognized. But don’t worry, hiding the profile works just as well!
When you hide a profile, the face stays out of your People view. Additionally, any new matches to that face will be merged into the hidden profile — keeping it out of sight.
This is a great way to stay organized without losing control over your recognized faces.
Hiding People Profiles
There are a few ways you can hide a People profile...
- Option 1: using the Show/Hide People button
- Option 2: right-clicking on the People profile
- Option 3: from within the People profile
Option 1: Show/Hide Button
This option works to be able to hide as well as show multiple People profiles at once!
- Navigate to the People tab in your account.
- Click the button in the upper corner to "Show/Hide People".
-
Select the faces that are shown to hide them.
💡 Tip: An eye icon means the person is currently hidden.
Option 2: Right-Click on Profile
This option works only to hide one profile at a time.
- Navigate to the People tab in your account.
- Find the person's profile you want to hide from this list (this can be a named or Unnamed profile).
-
Right-click on their photo, and from the menu choose to "Hide Person".
Option 3: Within the People Profile
This option is also for editing one person's profile to be hidden.
- Navigate to the People tab in your account.
- Find the person's profile you want to hide from this list and click on them to view their entire profile.
- In the upper corner click the three dots, then from the menu choose to "Hide Person".
Unhiding People Profiles
There are two ways to unhide a profile...
Option 1: Show/Hide Button
These are the same steps as option 1 to hide a profile, so you can do multiple people to both show and hide at the same time.
- Navigate to the People tab in your account.
- Click the button in the upper corner to "Show/Hide People".
-
Select the grayed-out faces that are shown to unhide them.
💡 Tip: An eye icon means the person is currently hidden.
Option 2: Photo Info Panel
If you have FOREVER® Facial Recognition, you can unhide People profiles you see while working on photos in your account.
- Navigate to a photo with the person's face and click on it to open the lightbox.
- On the right Info panel you should see the People section.
- You should see a option that says there are a certain number of faces "available to add", click on it to see the other faces.
- Find the grayed-out profile of the person you want to unhide (they will also have an eyeball icon) and click on them.
- You will get a pop-up asking to confirm you want to make this People profile visible again — if you confirm they will then show up again for all the photos this profile is associated with.
