Find the perfect shot. Photos identifies objects, scenes, and people in your photos and
videos. Search your photos based on what’s in them, the date they were taken, people
you’ve named in them, captions you added, and their location—if provided.
Ask Siri. Say something like: “Show me photos of Sally.”
People and Places. Photos understands your photos—who’s in them and what’s
happening—and highlights important moments like birthdays, anniversaries, and trips.
Make someone a favorite by clicking the Favorite button that appears on their photo,
and they’ll always appear at the top of the album. Use the Places album to view all your
photos with location data on an interactive map. Zoom in on the map to reveal more
photos from a specific location.
Tip: You can add location info to any photo. While viewing the photo, click the
Information button , click Assign a Location, and start typing. Choose a location from
the list, or type the location and press Return.
Get creative with Live Photos. With Live Photos, use the Loop effect to continuously
loop the action, or use Bounce to play the animation forward and backward. For a
professional DSLR look, use Long Exposure to blur motion in your Live Photos and turn an
ordinary waterfall or flowing stream into a work of art.
