During the show case of iOS 12, a number of new features within the Photos app were shown and discussed. Here are some of them:
- New “Advanced Search” in Photos in iOS 12
- A new ‘For You’ tab in the Photos app
New Search suggestions have been implemented. You can now search for key moments, people, places, and categories like hiking or waterspouts. Search for places by business name or category. Four million events by time and place, sporting events and concerts. Find photos you took at those events. These pictures can then be grouped together and shared with other people via an Album. You can also search with powerful object and scene recognition, e.g. Cars, dogs, flowers.
New ‘Featured photos’
Featured photos from “on this day” or “looping a Live Photo”, or a portrait effect to a photo. Similar proactive suggestions like Google Photos offers. The Photos app is a lot more convenient as well as useful and smart. “Over 1 trillion photos are captured on iPhone each year”. This is quite a remarkable figure and shows how amazing the cameras on iPhones are.
