I just opened my photo gallery. Suddenly I see that’s it’s now able to categorize pictures and display all pictures of a certain category. I hit “cat” and all the pics I ever took of my cat now display.

I never authorized it to do that. It means it’s going through my pictures and labeling them possibly using some AI.

I don’t want it to sort and slot my pictures. What a disgraceful violation of privacy.

    What are you chatting about? Calm down

    What invasion of privacy, there is none. Think before you post, you look stupid now

    It doesn’t do anything, it just tags pictures that are of the same person / cat / place into People Pets and Places

    Nothings been moved or touched, they are still in the same place ‘All Pictures’ as they were before

    iOS has been doing this with People and Places for the last 7 years…

    Peta was added in iOS 17

    Surely it’s only a violation of privacy if your phone is sending the data somewhere? And it’s been around for ages.

    This has been a thing for years and is done on device no internet required and is a pretty neat and useful feature. Nothing creepy about it.

    "I never authorised it to do that "… Yes you did. As soon as you started your iPhone and took your first photo.

    There is NO privacy invasion.

    I hear Amazon are selling tin foil on offer for Black Friday.
