i did have iphoto on my iPad

but after being told to migrate to photo the iPhoto does not work

and that means i have lost FACES

wanted it back

That is not possible. Photos on the iPad does not support Faces. Photos is still very limited. You cannot add any titles or tags other than label a photo as "Favorite". See this link: Migrating from iPhoto for iOS to Photos on iOS 8 - Apple Support


You can sync your Faces albums from iPhoto on the Mac, if you disable iCloud Photo Library (Beta). Otherwise wait, if the Photos.app for he Mac will bring Faces back to iOS8.

It will help to send feedback to Apple with feature requests for the interaction of Photos on Mac and iOS8. Use this form: Apple - iPhoto - Feedback

Lex, there has been iPhoto iOS for iPad, a magnicifent app - the best photo editor for the iPad we ever had (http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/2.0/), but Apple did not provide an upgrade for iOS 8. So, sadly, anybody who upgraded the iPad from iOS 7 to iOS 8 is left in the lurch with just the Photos.app, that is not yet an adequate substitute. Photos supports neither brushed adjustments, nor can the photos be tagged with keywords or titles. There are no longer smart albums based on tags, the Journals can no longer be edited, photo books can no longer be ordered, we can no longer view the metadata of the photos.
