I accidentally merged my 2 daughter's pictures together on Samsung Gallery. Is there a way to separate them or reset all face tagging? Since it merged all pictures of my 2 daughters into 1, I can't select any pictures for my other daughter. I've tried talking to support with no answers for the last week. Any help will be greatly appreciated..

Go on edit picture then look on the top right and look for the reset option

I don't have that reset option in Samsung Gallery. I have a Note 20 also. Don't know if that makes a difference or not

Go to gallery tap the picture that got merged. Tap the pencil icon and look top right you should see it there.

Thanks man..the revert button isn't highlighted unless I resize it or something. Once I can press it, it goes back to the original photo, but the face tag stays on my daughter. It's probably 2000 photos that merged together. My daughter said it asked if a picture of her sister was her, she meant to press no, but accidentally selected yes, and all of the pictures came under her profile. I truly wish I could reset all of face tagging and start over

I found this, it's from the India forum, but the suggestion should work for you (tested it and it worked for me). Basically it says to search for the tag, then select the menu and remove the results from the search and it will remove all the tags from all the photos.  You will then either have to re-tag them or leave them untagged.

Also, if you have your photos synced with Google photos, the tags aren't saved in the backup copies.
