I have around 90k photos on my phone and icloud and this morning every face and people on my iPhone 11 pro max got mixed with each other, so i got mixed with my children (and now ios thinks i am my children), my parent with my children etc, even female friends got mixed with my male friends (wtf?).

Is there a way to reset the entire face / people recognition in the photo gallery? its a pain in the ass to manually mark every photo and correct this bug that mixed all people together.

Strange tho, since it worked fine yesterday (and no, i havent done anything).
 
Go to people album, select all and delete. It won‘t delete the fotos, don’t worry. Only the recognized faces and their linked name (person) are „deleted“ or reset if you want.
Then, attach your phone to the charger and let the recognition start from scratch (takes quite some time!).
