The Truth about Cats and Dogs

Apple is beefing up its people recognition in the Photos app overall with iOS 17, but it’s also adding the ability to recognize furry friends that are part of your family, too.

As with Apple’s other recent pet-recognition features, this will be limited to cats and dogs, much to the disappointment of those who prefer more exotic animals. Still, we’ve had success in the past with bunny recognition, so as long as the animal vaguely resembles a cat or dog, you may find it still works for you.
