Apple 's Photos app overhaul in iOS 18 has been met with mixed approval.

A new Enhanced Visual Search feature will identify common objects, landmarks, plants, animals, and even icons and labels in photos.

Apple will use the cloud to match places in your photos to a points-of-interest database it maintains.

This, of course, requires your photo (or at least, specific markers and data from them) leaving your iPhone.
