    Live photos splitting in Photos app

    Hi there! So I've been doing some house keeping of my photo libraries. I've found that about 80% of 'Live Photos' from a roughly 1/2 year period have created their own small 2/4 second video clip alongside the live photo itself. - Ie you've see your selection of photos you can hover over that...

    All Devices iOS's Photos' "People" Facial Recognition UI is absolutely terrible and frustrating.

    The good: iOS's facial recognition is IMHO "pretty good". And with all ML models, it gets better as you identify more people, too. The bad: When it makes a mistake, the UI makes it a massive pain to correct. In my case, there's a large volume of mistakes, and it's just absolutely impossible...

    Photos app automatically crops live photo when changing key photo

    Recently I started noticing that when I change my “key photo”, the photo will become a little cropped / zoomed in. This is super annoying and it ruins a lot of photos (I actually often end up disabling Live Photo on a photo where I’ve changed the key photo even though I love the Live Photo...
