You’ve never experienced your photos quite like this. With the improved Memories feature, Photos helps you rediscover favorite and forgotten moments. And advanced search technology and editing tools let you find, share, and remaster your photos in entirely new ways.
Memories intelligently curates and searches your photos and videos to find activities, trips, holidays, people, pets, and more, then presents them in beautiful collections. Rediscover a weekend hike or big events like a first birthday or family vacation. Memories also finds your best photos and videos and stitches them together into a Memory Movie — complete with theme music, titles, and cinematic transitions that you can edit and share.
Photos makes it easier than ever to find a specific shot. It uses advanced face recognition technology to group photos by person, and lets you pick your favorites by tapping the heart icon. You can pinpoint a photo based on where you took it thanks to the Places album. Photos even recognizes scenes or objects in your photos, so you can search for things like dogs, beaches, mountains, or flowers.
Organize your photos by who’s in them. Simply tap a group of photos of someone and add the person’s name. You can also mark people as favorites, making their photos more prominent and easier to find.
The Places album lets you view all your photos, videos, and Live Photos on a beautiful map layout. Zoom in to reveal more photos at the specific location you took them.
Easily search your images for things like cars or trees or the beach.
One of the best things about Photos is how it protects your privacy. iOS is designed to take advantage of the powerful processor built into every iPhone and iPad. So when you search your photos, for instance, all the face recognition and scene and object detection are done completely on your device. Which means your photos are yours and yours alone.
Add personality to your photos with stickers and Markup. Use the share sheet to share photos via iCloud Photo Sharing or AirDrop. Or post photos with a tap to your favorite photo sharing sites, like Facebook and Twitter.
Whatever your skill level, you can create photo masterpieces in the Photos app. Let Photos automatically make adjustments for you, or take control to fine-tune every picture yourself with a variety of powerful yet easy-to-use editing tools.*
If you want to take your photo editing further, Photos lets you do that, too. You can use third-party photo editing tools to make sure everything’s picture perfect. And you can do it all without leaving the Photos app.
Every photo and video you take now lives in iCloud — giving you the freedom to access your library from any device, anytime you want. So you can view a photo from last week or last year no matter where you are. iCloud Photo Library keeps every photo and video you take all in one place, and you can access them from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac, on iCloud.com, and even with your PC.
