Once you’ve tagged a person in your Mylio Photos Library, you can add a wide variety of information about that person, from contact information (for easy photo sharing) to relationships and even pertinent dates. This information can be added manually, imported from your computer or mobile device’s address book (macOS, iOS, Android), using a standard v-card or VCF file, or downloaded from FamilySearch.org.
