IPhone Photos app adds random people to the people album

iphonephotosphotos.app

When I take photos of a crowded place, I often get random strangers in the shot, facing in my direction. The iPhone Photos app then adds these strangers to the People album.

How can I remove these strangers? The only solution I’ve found was to hide the photo, but that hides it from Moments, which I don't want.

I'm using an iPhone 6, iOS 10.3.3.

Directly from the People album, tap Select in the top-right corner. Next select all the faces you don't know, then tap Hide in the bottom-left corner.

This will hide those people from your People album without hiding the photos themselves.
