The big idea
Type 'dog' in a photo app and it finds every dog photo — even ones you forgot. AI looks at every picture and recognizes what's inside. That's how photo apps can find 'beach' or 'cake' across hundreds of photos.
Some examples
- Search 'birthday' to find all the birthday photos.
- Search 'dog' or 'cat' to find pet pictures.
- Some apps even group photos by who's in them.
- It works even if you never named or labeled the photos.
Try it!
On a phone or tablet (with grown-up okay), search a word in the photo app — like 'cat' or 'food'. Did it find pictures? How accurate was AI?
