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.
This isn’t new. The only thing that is new about this feature is that it can distinguish different pets by name the way it does with people instead of just a generic label “cat” or “dog”.
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.
Surely it’s only a violation of privacy if your phone is sending the data somewhere? And it’s been around for ages.
Anti-technology?
This has been a thing for a technology for a while. “Violation of privacy” lmao
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
Why wouldn’t you want to be able to find all your cat photos?
"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.
