Although not really perfect, but this feature still gives users some certain convenience. With this feature, you can view a person's normal face, name them, delete faces that are difficult to identify and hide any face you don't want to look at.

For the new iOS 10.1 version of Apple, you can sync your loved ones face via iCloud, making it easier to organize Memories and photos.
