On iPhone, you can set the Photos app to show certain people, days, and holidays less frequently or not at all in your memories, featured photos, and the Photos widget. You can also turn off memories and featured photos in the Photos app and the widget on your iPhone Home Screen.

For a person, you can choose Feature This Person Less or Never Feature This Person, and you can feature them again later.

  1. Start the Photos app on your iPhone.
  2. Open a photo of the person you want to show less often.
  3. Tap the More button, then tap Don’t Feature a Person.

    If there’s more than one person in the photo, tap the person you want to feature less, then tap Next.

  4. Choose Feature This Person Less or Never Feature This Person.
  5. Tap Confirm.

To feature someone again, tap Collections , tap your account in the top-right corner, then tap Reset People & Pets Suggestions.
