How to find group photos and videos on iPhone

The Photos app recognizes groups of people and pets who often appear together in pictures and videos, and sorts them into group collections. For example, if you have many pictures of your family or a group of friends, Photos creates a collection for each of those groups.

You’ll find them in People & Pets, below Groups. From there, you can view pictures of a group with additional people, or share the photos of the group.

1. Start the Photos app on your iPhone.
2. Tap Collections, then tap People & Pets.
3. Swipe the collections below Groups to browse, or tap Groups to view them all.
4. Tap a group to view all the photos and videos in that collection.

Quick tip: Tap the Sort and Filter button and tap View Options, then tap Other People to see pictures of this group with additional people.

To share the photos of the group, tap the More button, then tap Share.
