About Apple Photos

Apple Photos is Apple's photo library and editing application. It organizes and stores photos and videos, provides editing tools on macOS, and can move photos between devices. Search can find people, places, objects, and events. The official Apple support page describes these features and gives help topics for taking, editing, transferring, and organizing photos.

Syncing across devices depends on iCloud Photos. Using iCloud Photos keeps photos and videos stored in iCloud and up to date on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and iCloud.com. Users who do not want iCloud can transfer photos manually with Finder. Subject selection is available only on supported systems. The source does not list system requirements, storage amounts, or iCloud plan details.
