What is the difference in “persons” and “people”?

And when would they be used properly?

I grew up using only “people” then I feel like one day the words “persons” started to get used in society and I don’t know why or when to use it.

From my understanding, persons is more for multiple individuals. People refers more to an actual group. This distinction may or may not matter.
