You might remember when you’d only snap a few photos for fear of wasting film. Those days are long gone. Reports indicate people worldwide snap an astounding 1 trillion images a year.
You probably have thousands of images stored on your smartphone. I don’t know what this says about me but I have 26,954 photos in my cloud account.
This number is after I dumped the duplicates. Don’t stress how to do it. Tap or click for easy ways to find and delete all your duplicate photos.

How to uncover an image on your iPhone
Sorting through all the photos in your gallery is a pain, but it doesn't have to be. A few quick, easy steps are all it takes to locate the photo you’re looking for.
- Open the Photos app and tap on the magnifying glass icon in the lower right-hand corner.
- Enter the name of a place, a person (if you’ve assigned them in the Photos app) or search terms like an event or object. Think “Hawaii,” “Kim” or “Studio.”
- You can also search by date (month or year), category or business name.
Your phone uses facial recognition, along with scene and object detection, to populate and display the photos that match your search. Try this with a few different search terms to see how well your phone performs. I bet you’ll be surprised.

Tips to make your search even easier
If your photos are one big mess, turn to your phone’s built-in organization. These tools include default folders based on dates or type, like videos, panoramic shots and selfies.
It also helps to create personalized photo albums based on your favorite subjects, locations or people. Be sure to label images with unique names and dates.
Even if your phone has a ton of storage space, you need to back up your photos. Cloud storage keeps your memories safe and gives you one central hub for the pictures stored on all your devices. Tap or click for options for amateurs and pros alike.
