Lightroom Face detection returns wrong persons

Is there a way to remove a person’s name from a face to replace it by another one. The face detection algorithm automatically assigns names if it finds a well corresponding person.

This works well for most of the persons, but as they become looking more and more the same, errors are occurring (esp. for twins).

Therefor I’ve been looking for the button to change the name for hours now and didn’t find anything... Using Lightroom CC on an IPad.

Thanks for help.

    I guess I‘m looking at the wrong page. Could you post a screenshot of the proper section or icon where I can reach that panel?

    That‘s what I see:


    Sorry, I've just read your original post again and realised that you're looking on an iPad, and you can't change individual names there, you can only do it using the LRCC desktop app. Sorry for the confusion.

    Select the image with the wrongly-named face region, click on the Keyword icon in the right-hand toolbar, then when that's opened click in the People section on the wrong name and you can then simply type the correct name.

    Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately that doesn’t work for me. I don’t have any keywords, but anyways if I change to the people section and correct the name, that applies to all photos and not to the single one.

    Did you actually look at the Keywords panel? Any tagged faces in an individual image are listed on the Keywords panel (and it doesn't matter if the image doesn't have any keywords assigned, there is a separate People section above the Keyword section). If you change the name on that Keywords panel, it only affects the face region on that selected image.
