Hi folks, what software, ap, method or ? do you use to organize the photos in your phone?

I find that seeking by any word only gives me photos that include that text.

I am tasked with finding a photo amid so many thousands in my iPhone. It has taken hours to so far not find it.

Search terms used so far: 2023, plant, tree, building. Not finding.

I'd love to find a way to make photos searchable as the ai or whatever in the iPhone photos ap is not doing it.

For this issue I'd like to be able to search by location!

Welcoming any thoughts. Go Harris/Walz! Thank all inclined to respond in advance and thank you C-Span as I am listening to the Philly rally and am so cheered!

Then sort into folders by date or location manually, or work out how to use AI to trawl through the jumble and pick out the ones with 'trees'.

If your phone adds metadata to pictures, like date or GPS coordinates, that might be where to start searching and sorting.

In the old days of course you'd take your roll of film to a photo shop, then write the date and place on the back of the pictures. lol
