Find people in Photos on iPhone
The Photos app uses on-device intelligence to recognize faces in your photos. When you add names to the faces, you can search for photos by name.
Note: When you use iCloud Photos, your People album is kept up to date on all your devices that meet these minimum system requirements: iOS 11, iPadOS 13, or macOS 10.13. (You must be signed in with the same Apple ID on all the devices.)
