Photos on your phone — find, tidy, and share.

Four thousand photos and you cannot find the one from Susan’s wedding. Your phone’s photo app has quiet AI magic built in — and your chat helper can walk you through every step of using it.

SearchYour photos are searchable — really

Open your photo app and type in its search box: "beach," "dog," "birthday cake," even "Susan." The AI inside the app finds them by what is IN the picture. Most people have no idea this exists. If you get stuck, describe your phone to your chat helper and ask for the steps.

Try typingI have an [iPhone/Android]. Walk me through, one small step at a time, how to search my photos for pictures of a specific person and give the person a name in the app.

Tidy upClear the clutter without fear

Duplicates, blurry shots, seventeen photos of the same sunset — ask your helper for the safest way to bulk-delete on your phone, and where deleted photos go (they sit in a "Recently Deleted" folder for about a month, so a mistake is not a disaster).

ShareSo family actually sees them

Ask for step-by-step help making a shared album for the family — one place where you add vacation photos and the kids see them automatically. It is nicer than texting nine photos one at a time, and grandchildren actually look at it.

Try typingWalk me through creating a shared photo album on my [iPhone/Android] that my daughter can see from her phone, step by step, assuming I have never done this before.

Your turn

Three small photo victories:

Search your photos for "cake" and see what appears.
Delete ten photos you truly do not need.
