Search Your Photos (You Can Even Ask Siri)
You may not know it, but your iPhone uses machine learning and on-device processing to learn about your photos. It does this all on your device so things stay private and nothing is sent back to Apple. Your iPhone recognizes colors, dates, people, animals, objects, holidays, and more. On newer devices, it can even recognize text within a photo.
In the Photos app, you can search for things like “car” or “Kevin’s birthday” or “March wedding.” Your iPhone will search your photos for images it thinks matches your query. You can also ask Siri to make these searches for you!
At the end of the day, there are so many things your iPhone can do that it’s easy to forget some of the features or learn something new. When Apple introduced the App Store, one of its advertising slogans was “There’s an App for That!” Now, in 2022, there are almost two million apps available in the App Store, but some of the coolest and most useful features are already built-in.
