How will Faces sync with iCloud?

[samduffy]

Hi Rene when Apple make Faces/people compatible with iCloud how do you think it will work ? will it automatically merge your faces and then push them to all devices or would you still have to merge them and then once done then they are pushed to all devices.

Secondly do you think it will be better at recognising faces as theres lot of faces I still have to randomly merge that it didn't do a good job of merging in the first place. do you think Facial recognition will be made better

Thirdly when do you see it being launched

Thanks

There are currently no settings that allow synchronization of this data. It appears it was meant to be device specific. That's what I've been reading.

Apparently they're planning to introduce it down the line I'm just wondering how will it work

I'd massively love this feature - crazy to have to sort faces on every device you own.

It's apparently in the works hopefully it will launch soon. I wonder how it will work and I hope it will do a much better job at matching faces at present it leaves lots of faces for me to manually merge with that persons face

No way to know until they launch it and either tell us or we figure it out.
