Apple's Photos new auto tagging capabilities


People take a lot of pictures with their iPhones and managing all that is frankly a chore. Apple's new Photos app looks to do some interesting stuff in automatically adding context to your photos. Kay Yin has played around with the beta and has an extensive listing of Photos' new auto-tagging capabilities.

Photos will attempt to tag photos of people using 7 facial expression, such as Greedy, Disgust, Neutral, Scream, Smiling, Surprise, Suspicious. It will also try to assign categories for memories and types of locations. Apparently Photos will detect 4,432 difference scenes into 153 categories and they're all listed in the post. This goes beyond just geotags as it will attempt to understand what you're doing. Some examples are airplanes, butterfly, recitals, donuts, whiskey, etc, etc, etc
