Using the Diary app you can easily capture special moments and memories. You can use suggestions to make it easier to complete the diary.
Using on-device machine learning, users receive personal suggestions for inspiration. You can limit this to protect your privacy, but you can also disable it if you choose to only manually add items to your digital diary. Unfortunately, the application is not yet available for iPad or Mac.
Suggestions for diary
Using on-device machine learning, users receive personal suggestions for inspiration. Based on recent activities including photos, people, places, and workouts, these suggestions make it easier to start writing.
Your iPhone will generate suggestions for the Diary app in several ways. You can expect suggestions for the topics below;
- Activity: workouts and exercise
- Media: podcasts and music that you listen to
- Contacts: People with whom you call and send messages
- Photos: Library, memories and shared photos
- Key locations: Places where you regularly spend time
You can also expect suggestions of moments when you were together with other iPhone users. Both devices can communicate with each other and notify each other that they were nearby. This will give you certain suggestions afterwards
