The Fastest Way to Find That ONE Picture on Your Phone!

I have been teaching photo classes in local communities for a couple of years and one of the things that always shocks people is how amazing the SEARCH TOOL is! People have seen it but never think to use it when they need to find a picture in a pinch. 

By simply typing in a keyword, your photo app will scroll through thousands of pictures, weeding out only the ones that match your criteria.

Imagine the time and stress this could save if you have ever experienced the frustration of scrolling and scrolling but never being able to find the picture you are looking for.  

• People's names (if you have already labeled your favorites in your photo app)
• Dog, cat, pet
• Names of cities, states or countries you have traveled to 
• Summer, pool, lake
• Football, dance, pickle ball
• Drinks, food, wine,  beer

Get creative and use words that fit your life, hobbies and places you have traveled! 

1. Open Apple Photos on your phone 
2. Click "Search" from the menu at the bottom of your screen
3. Type in a keyword in the search box at the top of your screen
4. Click the blue "search" button in the bottom right corner
5. Once your photos populate, click the blue "See All" button to see all of your pictures that fit that search
6. If the picture you are looking for doesn't show up, try a different search word (ex: instead of "beach" try "sand")

Have a great week!

All the best,
