Photos

The People album in Photos shows faces that the app has detected from your pictures. Drag favorites to the space at the album’s top for quick access. Tap a face to see more photos and Memories featuring that person.

It may have recognized more faces but not be showing them – perhaps because you have few pictures of those people. Tap + (Add People), tap faces you want in the People album, then tap Add. Watch out for separate pictures of the same person; tap them, followed by Merge.

You can also merge faces at the top of the People album: first, tap Select, then some faces, then Merge. If you don’t want to see a person here that the app has picked out, choose Hide.

Photo’s new image analysis capabiliti­es extends beyond faces to animals, objects, and scenery. The app scans your photos, and is able to pick out animals such as dogs (even down to certain breeds), places such as the beach or an apartment, or objects. It also detects facial expression, including smiling and surprise. You don’t need to do anything to attach this informatio­n to photos – you can just start searching for items by name!

The Places album groups photos by where they were taken, and spreads them into smaller groups as you zoom in. Tap a photo on the map to see photos from that location, or tap Grid for a scrolling view of larger thumbnails of all pics taken in the area you’re looking at.

You can use the Markup tools in Photos. Edit a picture, then tap the icon of three dots in a circle, then choose Markup. If you don’t see it, scroll to the right, tap More, then turn on Markup’s switch and tap Done.
