Instantly share photos and videos via a convenient iCloud link
Tuesday, May 7 • Wesley Fabry
For years, you can easily share photos and videos with friends from your iPhone or iPad. If the recipient also has an iOS, iPadOS or Mac device, the possibilities are great. For example, you can share the photos via AirDrop or iMessage, but of course also via other ways.
It is also possible to create a shared photo album or simply share the photos via WhatsApp. But it can be even easier with an iCloud link. The advantage of this is that everyone can open this link, regardless of which device. This way, an Android user can also open and download the photo in high quality.
Photos automatically recognizes pets and places them in their own album

Good news for all dog and cat owners. Since iOS 17, iPadOS 17 and macOS Sonoma, certain pets are automatically recognized in the Photos application for iPhone, iPad and Mac. The photos of your beloved animals are then placed in their own album.
In previous versions, the entire photo library was already searched for people using artificial intelligence, and recently also for dogs and cats. Just like with people, each pet gets its own album based on ‘snout recognition’.
Quickly crop photos and videos using this trick

On iOS and iPadOS, you can use a clever trick to quickly crop videos and photos. This means you can edit the image without having to open the editing tools first.
Cropping an image is useful because it helps to focus on the most important part of the image and remove unnecessary or distracting elements. Cropping can also help to improve the composition of an image.
Hide photos and videos in the Photos app

The Photos application has a lot of functions and is the ideal application to manage your photos and videos. You can easily place them in albums, edit them and sync them with all your devices via iCloud Photo Library.
The ‘Photos’ tab shows all the photos and videos in your library. In addition, you can use the ‘Albums’ tab to sort your videos and photos into different folders. Note that an album consists of shortcuts to a photo or video in the app. You do not copy these.
Find and remove duplicate photos from your photo library

When you take a photo, you will undoubtedly take several in a row. If you forget to clean them up afterwards, your library will be full of duplicate photos.
Since iOS 16, iPadOS 16, and macOS Ventura, the Photos app on iPhone, iPad, and Mac can automatically sort through these and put them in a separate folder. This makes it easy to tidy up and keep only the best ones.
