How To Search For Specific Pictures In The Photos App, on your Apple iOS
Device:

Rita's iDevice for June 29, 2020

This search feature is handy when you've taken a photo a while ago and can't
find it manually.

Open the Photos app and search for a key term in the app, and all the photos
that match should appear.

That's because Apple has designed the Photos app to recognize scenes and
objects using machine learning.

You can even search for events, like a concert you went to: "Photos for iOS
can use the time and location of your photos along with online event
listings to find matching photos."

It is also possible to search by location, so you can enter a place name
such as Pensacola, to track down photos of your trip to this beach
destination.

First, open the Photos app on your iPhone.

Next, tap on the Search tab in the bottom right-hand corner:  which has a
magnifying glass as its icon.

Then simply type in the name of a place, a search term, or even a person's
name (if they're assigned in your Photos app) to find matches.

Search for a key term in the app, and all the photos that match should
appear.

When you are running VoiceOver: you can add a text label to the photos in
your Photos App.

There are a few Ways you can get a photo described to you right in the Apple
photos app. For one thing, as you are swiping through your photos, you can
perform a three finger single tap on the photo to hear a description, also
often read automatically, of what is in the photo. You might hear things
like, table, chair, two people. This is just an example. When doing this,
make sure that your screen curtain is off, and that the brightness is not
set to zero. next, while you can of course listen to videos that you may
have taken, you can also do this with Live Photos. If you have the live
photo setting turned on in the camera, Open a live photo, then double tap
and hold where it says live photo. You will hear a couple seconds of audio.
This, combined with the description voiceover gives you, can often be enough
to determine much about the photo. Beyond this, if you have some cited help,
you can name the people in your various photos, so that going forward,
voiceover will tell you who is in every photo you have. You can also search
for photos based upon topics, events, people, dates, and locations. Finally,
if you are certain of what a particular photo is, you can use the two finger
double tap and hold on any photo, to open the voiceover label element
feature. Then you can provide a descriptive label for each of your photos.
