Meanwhile, the Photos app can even be found in videos. If you remember a specific moment in a video but are unable to recall which one, try describing the scene. For instance, "baby crawling" or "fireworks over lake.”
It is important to note that for these enhanced search features to work, the Photos app requires time to index your library. This process happens on your device to protect your privacy, so it is said to wait a few minutes if searches aren't quickly accurate after updating to iOS 18.1.
