How to use the Photos For You tab in an iPhone

When we try to recollect memories of an event a complete representation of it gets reactivated in the brain like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle coming together to create a vivid recollection. The Photos app in an iPhone does something similar for us. It helps us rediscover our favourite and forgotten moments from the photo library. The Photos For You tab introduced in iOS 12 brings many intelligent Sharing Suggestions. Moreover, in iOS 12, it’s become even smarter and more personal, with intelligent new features. Let’s look!

Shared Album Activity in For You Tab

Any Shared Album Activity related to your iCloud account is presented at the bottom of the ‘For You’ tab. Here, you can view photos and videos, give them with a thumbs up, and read comments by others or add your own.
