Although Apple's new iOS Photos App no longer shows you the option to browse by face, it's still there... sort of.
I love Apple's new iOS Photos App, but I was surprised that some older features vanished, such as Smart Albums and face browsing. In older versions, if you used iPhoto on your Mac to tag faces or create Smart Albums, you could easily browse them on your iPhone.
When the new version came out, I spent quite a few hours tagging faces on my Mac, expecting to see them in the Photos App on my iPhone, only to discover the faces option was gone. At first, I assumed this was because of a delay in syncing my photo library to iCloud, so I waited an hour or so. The next day... still nothing.
Although the face option was gone, I decided to try a little test. I did a search for one of the people I tagged, and it worked!
So every single tag I made was actually saved to iCloud... All you need to do is specify the name you want to find and viola! There they are.
If you've never used face tagging before, you should try it. It's not perfect, but it makes pretty accurate guesses. Funny thing. I fed it pictures of Clark Kent and it kept matching him with Superman. Like I said, it's not perfect.
