Your photo library probably is full of years of memories of the holidays, gatherings and events. You might have thousands, if not ten thousand, photos and videos in your flow, and there is a New iOS functionality This will help you remember exactly when and where a particular photo or video has been taken, assuming that you captured the moment during a live show or game. This is called “recognition of events” and will be shipped with iOS 26 when Apple will be released later this month.
Here is how it works: the photos take a look at metadata for your photos and videos, or the information associated with this image, in search of details that can confirm if it was taken during a major event. The application can use the date, the time, the location and other data points to do this, and, once confirmed, it marks the photo or the video with the information of the event. Currently, this feature works for both concerts as well as for sporting events.
How does event recognition work in the iOS 26 photos application
Let’s say that you attended a Death Cab For Cutie cabinet, like the editor -in -chief of Lifehacker, Joel Cunningham, last month in Brooklyn. When you scroll these photos and videos of your library, you will see a concert ticket icon to appear at the bottom of the screen. Press this, and he will draw the metadata page from the image, with a labeled label “Death Cab for Cutie Concert”. If you press this label, you will draw a page dedicated to details surrounding the event, including the date of the concert, the time, the location, the place and even a list of songs played. In addition to the details on the program itself, you will also get accompanied content associated with the artist who played, such as the Apple Music reading lists and the shows to come. The event tag could even extend to the things you have done immediately before or after the show – in the role of Joel’s camera, the nearby restaurant he ate before the death of death is also labeled with a ticket icon.
If your photo has been taken during a sporting event instead of a concert, this feature will show you details such as the score of the game, the place and the upcoming events there.
What do you think so far?
Currently, functionality is active for certain places and events, but no others (Joel has not seen any additional information for a 2018 show in a small place, Brooklyn Steel); Hopefully this will become more robust with the passage of time.
It is not necessarily a new revolutionary functionality, but it is fun, and it facilitates the memory of the details of the concerts and the games to which you attended a long time ago. He joined a series of other modifications to the Photos Application in iOS 26, including new layout modifications, fresh filters and a lower tab bar.
