People View - Change a person's cover photo

Hi,

I'd like to change cover photo of a cluster in people view (Lightroom CC on iPad).

I've tried to use the instructions explained here : https://helpx.adobe.com/sea/lightroom-cc/using/people-view.html#name_people

Find and organize photos of people in the People View

The problem is that after I have clicked on a photo in a cluster and clicked on the "..." in the upper right corner of the screen, the option "set as a cover photo" is not listed (there is only "Add To", "Delete", "Show/Hide Info", etc.).

Any help here would be appreciated.

Thank you.

    Hello,

    It seems it is not possible yet within the mobile apps. The option is only available in the desktop application (it works fine on my mac).

    Regards

    I found a workaround to the problem.  On my iPhone I delete around 10 of the best similar photos from the people view associated with the person I want to correct.  After a few minutes (5-10) I scroll down through the list of people view and I see the 10 deleted photos under an unnamed profile.  When I click on that profile I give it the same name as the original profile and the app suggests to merge the two proviles together.  After the merge the photo is updated with one of the 10 pictures I previously deleted.  It is tidious but it seems to be the only way to do it on the mobile version of the app.  

     

    Is there anyway we can vote for this feature to be implemented more easily in the mobile app?

    I find it frustrating that the “mobile” software lacks nany of the features that the desktop version has...
