You can also create your own memories from an Album or Collection. If you like what you see, you can save the Memory to your Favorite Memories album and share it. These Memories pop up almost as surprise gifts, and after Photos is installed, it can take days for any to be displayed (even if your iCloud library is already quite extensive).

Apple Photos scans through your library of photos and videos to create a collage card or slideshow movie of images that the app thinks are related (based on location, event, scene categories or people). The most significant recent addition to the app is the new Memories section. More useful is its People album and functionality, which make it easy to find, identify and group specific individuals in all of the pictures of people in your library. A very nice extra feature of Apple's geolocation is that when looking at the map detail for a specific photo or video, you can click to view nearby images, too.Īpple Photos did a pretty good job of recognizing faces, but it was no better or worse than every other app we've tested. When I searched for 'tree,' it found none of my tree pictures.Īs on Google Photos, Apple Photos has a map view that shows where your images were captured (if you had geolocation features enabled when you took them).
