P: Please add face recognition

I am disappointed that there is no facial recognition in Lightroom CC. I am a professional Photo Organizer and I was hoping it would be a good alternative to Mylio and other programs for organizing client's photos. With facial recognition in other competitive products, it is a way to add lots of names as keywords very efficiently.
I scan client photos also, and I can't edit the capture date in Lightroom CC, so that is disappointing also.
This product still does seem promising as a way for my clients to view, share and enjoy their photos if I have organized their collection and applied metadata using other products such as Lightroom Classic.

    For those of you who are still waiting for People Categorization to complete indexing. Can you go to Lightroom CC desktop app - click on the Cloud icon in the upper right and let me know what your used storage amount is?

    Imagine xxx'000 account with 30.000+ pictures to analyse. 
    This is really strange this face detection is not embedded in LR CC client.

    Is Lr CC allow to print a list of detected faces Lol

    I suspect with many people updating, the Adobe servers are very busy 🙂

    I upgraded LR CC 18 hours ago, i have 30,000 photos, and "People" still shows "No Faces Detected". Do I still need to wait, or is there a problem that I do not have any detected faces yet?

    Where to the person tags end up stored? Will they be written to the file as meta data, or will they live in a separate database that is unconnected to the actual photo. I ask as the latter hurts when sharing the photos outside of Lightroom (such as to family members for Family History research.) We need this data to live inside the photo file (or in a related side car for RAW images.)

    Please see the response above this one.

    From the linked document above: 

    "Note: When I access the People View, why does Lightroom CC display 'No People Found Yet'?

    Initial indexing of your photos may take some time. The ‘No People Found Yet’ message is displayed when Lightroom is still analyzing all your photos to find people or when there aren't any people in your photos."

    It sounds like indexing hasn't been finished on your account yet. Until it is, you won't be able to see or use the feature.  Give it some time for the indexing to be accomplished. Thanks for your patience.
