getting Faces to sync between multiple computers when you're using iCloud Photo Library, and mentioned — sadly — that there was no efficient way to sync the work-around to iOS. And this remains true... technically.</p> <p>It turns out that even though Apple doesn't
officially sync the Faces album from
Photos for OS X using
iCloud Photo Library, you can still find any tagged photos of a person — no matter what computer you tagged them on — by searching their name.</p> <!--break--> <h2>How to search your iPhone, iPad, or Mac for Faces and Places</h2> <ol><li>Open <strong>Photos for iOS</strong> on your iPhone or iPad, or <strong>Photos for OS X</strong> on your Mac.</li> <li>On iOS, tap the <strong>Search icon</strong>. On OS X, click on the <strong>Search field</strong> in the upper right corner.

</li> <li>Enter "<strong>[person name]</strong>" to find the tagged face in question.
