What do you dislike about Photos? Sometimes it shows photos on random dates, not exactly when they were added. I wish there were a feature to choose a “Photos Added” view. Also, a rename option for photos should be available. I don’t like that when you name a photo on your laptop and then transfer it into Photos, the name changes that’s not right.

The Photos app on iPhone has become one of my favorite built-in tools. It’s not just a gallery anymore — it’s like having a smart personal assistant for all my memories. The automatic sorting by people, places, and events is spot on. I especially love the “Memories” feature that creates short curated videos from past trips or family moments…they always feel thoughtful and nostalgic. Editing tools are surprisingly powerful too. I’ve used the built-in options to quickly adjust lighting, crop videos, or even remove background noise from Live Photos without needing a separate app. Also, iCloud syncing is seamless across my devices, so I can take a photo on my iPhone and instantly find it on my iPad or Mac. Search is another huge win. Typing something like “sunset beach” or “blue dress” pulls up exactly what I need, which saves a ton of time. Overall, it’s a clean, reliable, and very smart app that keeps improving with each iOS update. Whether it’s organizing thousands of photos or reliving moments with family, it handles everything beautifully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Photos? Limited album customization Duplicate photo management is basic No direct export to external drives Auto-edits can be too aggressive Face recognition misses occasionally Hidden album lacks strong privacy controls Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Photos solving and how is that benefiting you? Automatically organizes large photo libraries by people, places, and dates, saving time and effort Makes it easy to find specific memories using smart search (e.g., typing “beach” or “birthday”) Creates curated memory collections, helping relive moments without manually making slideshows Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
