These processes (mediaanalysisd, photoanalysisd, and photolibraryd) are related to Photos app analysis tasks, including facial recognition, object categorization, and organizing photos. They can consume a significant amount of CPU and memory. While disabling them may stop automatic photo analysis, it can also limit some features of the Photos app. Below is a unique and straightforward guide to managing and disabling these processes.
Step 1: Quit the Photos App & Background Syncing
Ensure the Photos app is closed. Many of these processes run in the background even after the app is closed to continue syncing and analyzing data.
- Force Quit:
- Open the Activity Monitor (Search “Activity Monitor” using Spotlight).
- Look for
mediaanalysisd,photoanalysisd, andphotolibraryd. - Select each process and click the “X” button to force quit.
This only temporarily stops the processes. To disable them from restarting, follow the steps below.
