Apple Shares Two New Tutorials for Memories Feature in Photos App

I remember the days, when IOS was so easy to use, we didn't need tutorials

Hard to compete with Google Photos. You just have to give them access to your life. Most don't mind.

I almost like Memories. I wish there was a way to choose any photo though.

You can choose your photos. You can make memories out of albums. Put whatever photos you want in an album. Perhaps you should watch the How To videos.

When the iPhone Memories function came out, I was really surprised at how well it worked. I occasionally house-sit for some friends and feed their cats. I occasionally took cat pics over 2 or 3 years. They were all geotagged to the same location, so Memories made a little album. I exported the animated video it made almost untouched (I took out one photo that was off center) and played it for them. It almost brought them to tears.

I've been a Google Photo user since it was Picasa, and I don't see how Google Photos is so up there that Apple cannot compete with them. The only thing people like about Google Photos is that Google giving "unlimited" storage by recompressing your photos to smaller sizes.

These memories could be great if you could select just the best photos to use.

You can!

The "Free" option for Google photos only compresses photos over 16MP and then only down to 16MP. Not sure about you but my iPhone 7 only has a 12MP camera so nothing is getting compressed. My DSLR (older) is only 12MP as well.

I would ditch Google photos yesterday if Apple gave us unlimited Photo storage. Or gave us a decent family price for iCloud storage, like I get with Office 365 Home, $99 for 5 people, each gets 1TB of OneDrive plus Office 2016. The same thing would cost me $500 for my family.

I'm a very biased apple fanboy, but I have to say that Google Photos offers a better service than Apple's... The people and object recognition system is more rock solid, I understand it's done online but I don't care much about privacy when it comes to family photos. We're not very important, and I don't upload papers or my artworks on it.

Agreed Google Photos is fantastic. It is fast and super simple to use/share. I also do not keep any documents on Google cloud or even use their email. I keep my doc's one One Drive which works great with Apple products.
