PET PROJECT
There are more memory types now, too, including child–focused memories, trends over time, and pet memories that recognize individual dogs and cats.
Memories enables you to pause, replay the last photo, or jump ahead. The music adjusts automatically so that transitions always happen on the beat. You can also change a song, remove photos, or change the Memory Look, and it all happens in real time.
Talking of Memory Looks, there are 12 which Apple says are inspired by “the art of cinematography”. They analyze each photo and video in a memory and apply contrast and color adjustments so that they all have the same look.
Photos also gets the new “Shared with You” section that displays photos and videos shared with you in Messages. You can choose to save them from there to your Library. The new info pane in Photos will tell you who sent the photo or video.
The way third–party apps work with Photos has also been improved. The image picker that enables you to choose photos from your library in apps like Messages, now allows you to specify the order in which they will be sent. And when you grant apps access to specific photos in your library, the apps can offer simpler selection workflows.
One new feature that will be welcomed is that the initial iCloud sync on a new device is now faster, according to Apple.
