Summary
The YouTube video from MacMost.com highlights a comprehensive set of new features introduced to the Photos app in iOS 27, designed to enhance organization, editing, and overall user experience. The presenter demonstrates ten key additions, ranging from granular photo management options to advanced AI-powered editing capabilities, along with a bonus wallpaper feature.
Among the new organizational tools, iOS 27 introduces Star Ratings, allowing users to assign a 1-5 star rating to individual photos and videos after enabling the feature in settings. This enables powerful filtering options to quickly find highly-rated content. Furthermore, the long-awaited ability to Add Keyword Tags directly on the iPhone Photos app is now available, with these tags seamlessly syncing to the Mac Photos app for consistent organization across devices. Users can also filter their library to show only photos Captured By Me, effectively recreating the functionality of the old Camera Roll album. For managing large selections, a View Selected option now provides a dedicated screen to review and refine chosen photos before sharing or editing. Lastly, a Sync Immediately toggle in iCloud settings allows users to prioritize the immediate upload of new photos to iCloud, which is particularly beneficial for travelers or those needing quick backups.
The Photos app also receives significant enhancements in its creative and AI-driven editing suite. Users can now easily extract a single frame from a video and Save Video Frame To Photo, though the presenter notes that video resolution will be lower than a still photo. More impressively, new AI tools, compatible with Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhones, revolutionize photo editing. The AI Clean Up feature builds upon the existing retouch tool, offering superior object removal with options for “Fast” or “High Quality” processing. AI Extend intelligently fills in areas beyond a photo’s original borders, useful for adjusting composition or aspect ratios. Finally, AI Reframe analyzes a photo’s depth and perspective, allowing users to drag and adjust the composition, with the AI filling in any newly exposed areas. All these editing tools maintain non-destructive editing, preserving the original photo.
As a bonus, the video showcases an Extend Wallpaper feature, found outside the Photos app but leveraging photo capabilities. When setting a wallpaper, users can choose one of their photos, and the AI will intelligently extend the image to better fit the iPhone’s screen, especially useful for vertical orientations. Collectively, these new features make the Photos app in iOS 27 a more robust and intelligent tool for managing, organizing, and creatively enhancing personal media on Apple devices.
