In My Photos
panel at the upper-left side of the screen, select People to view the People View.In this view, you can access People clusters where each cluster contains photos of a particular person. The total number of photos for each person is listed below the cover photo of the cluster.
Note:
When I access the People View, why does Lightroom 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. This analysis takes place on Adobe’s servers and does not require you to have the Lightroom app open and running on your computer. You can close Lightroom and continue to use your computer without impacting the time to complete the analysis.
You can use the following options to sort People clusters in the People View:
- Count (Number of photos in a cluster)
- First Name and Last Name (Alphabetical order of people)
To sort People clusters, follow these steps:
-
Click the three dots icon
in the upper-right corner of the screen. In the drop-down list, under Sort By, select one of the following options:- First Name: Sorts named clusters in alphabetical order of first name.
- Last Name: Sorts named clusters in alphabetical order of last name.
- Count: Sorts clusters in order of the highest number of photos to the least number of photos in a cluster.
You can sort People by first name, last name, or count.

Disable People view
Introduced in the February 2019 release of Lightroom CC desktop (version 2.2) and Lightroom for mobile (version 4.2)
Lightroom desktop and Lightroom for mobile (iOS and Android) analyze photos in the cloud to detect people to form clusters in People view. If you do not want Lightroom to analyze photos, you can disable People View where all existing face model data is deleted from Lightroom servers. Lightroom then no longer analyzes new photos and does not automatically group them into clusters. If you have any existing clusters in People View, they remain the same and are not deleted.
