I am running iOS 26 on an iPhone 15 Pro.
I have a photo of two friends, a man and a woman.
When navigating through the photos app, Voiceover tells me that it is an image of two people. Unfortunately, it also tells me that the image is probably of my wife and I.
I tried labeling the image with the names of the two friends, but Voiceover still tells me that the photo is of my wife and I.
I thought there was a way of telling iOS who was who in a photo so that it could search for people, etc., but can't figure out how to do it. Nor can my sighted wife. She says the method for doing this in iOS 26 must have changed.
Any hints on what to do?
Thanks.

Tagging photos
15 Pro here too.
I don't trust the auto generated descriptions VO gives you. A lot of times it will say "may be" and then a person's name, even though I have that person tagged in the photo so it puts them all into a collection. This is neat when combined with photos with proper accessibility alt tags!
This may or may not work. I haven't verified what worked for me with a sighted person.
For me, it doesn't always give me an option to tag all the people in the photo, even though I know there are more people in it than are recognized. I don't think this is a VO thing. I haven't figured out a way to get it to show me more people that can be tagged.
When you're done, if you keep the photos app open and lock your phone on charge, the app will generate collections with the people and pets it recognizes. It's supposed to do the same with trips, but my phone doesn't have enough data to create one for those yet.
