I have to build an app to recognize person on photo and find if this person is stored in phone book. I made face detection, I know how to take photos from people stored in phone book but I stuck on recognizing if the person is the same..
I want to ask what would be the easiest way to do it – i saw that iOS 10 comes with facial recognition in Photos app – is there any API to use facial recognition in iOS 10?
or should I use Open CV?

Face detection can be performed natively, as you've already found out, but to identify the faces you'll have to use something like OpenCV as there's no API available to do this presently
There's some information about how OpenCV can be used to recognise faces here.
Information about how to use it with Xcode here.
