How to Find All Photos of Your Pet on iPhone (Dog & Cat Grouping)
Quick answer: To find every photo of your dog or cat, use an app that recognizes pet faces and groups them automatically. FaceIdent does this on-device — it detects your pet, gathers all of its photos into one group, and lets you open it in a tap. Nothing is uploaded and no account is needed.
Our pets are in hundreds of our photos, scattered across years. Grouping them turns "where's that one of the dog?" into a single tap.
Yes, you can group pets like people
Face grouping is not just for people. The same on-device recognition that clusters your friends and family can recognize your dog or cat and gather every photo of them into one group. Instead of scrolling, you open your pet and see their whole story.
FaceIdent groups pets and people side by side, entirely on your device.
Step-by-step: find every photo of your pet
- Install a pet-grouping app. Download FaceIdent from the App Store and allow access to your photos.
- Let it scan on-device. The app detects pet faces and creates a group for your dog or cat. Larger libraries take a little longer the first time.
- Open your pet. Tap the group to see every photo your pet appears in.
- Name the group. Give your pet a name so you can find their photos instantly.
- Merge if needed. If your pet shows up in two groups, merge them so everything lives in one place.
