    The what feature? She talks like everyone has this and I don’t even know what it’s about…

      It’s an Apple Photos feature. It can be enabled or disabled in Settings -> Apps -> Photos -> Featured Content.

      It will pull together photos of a person or animal over a period of time, a set of photos from a particular date, a group from a place, or similar and make them into a slideshow.

      Sometimes it comes up with good ones (I get quite a few of my daughter and my dogs) and sometimes they’re hilariously bad or random/contrived.

      Can’t say they’ve ever really made me sad, but I may not be in the same stage of life as the OOP / not looking for internet joke points.

        It’s not only Apple Photos. Google Photos does the same shit but at least for the latter (don’t know if Apple offers this feature) there is an option to exclude people from these “highlights”.

        Well if you just broke up and they make a slide show of you with your ex it’s not that nice

        Ahhh a crapple-feature. That explains. Not used one of their devices to this day. No wonder that flew by my radar 😄 Thanks for explaining!

          Google Photos too, apparently, if for some reason you’re willing to give up your personal information to them.

        Pay Apple tax and your phone can automatically display its best guess at nice photos you took and might want to see again. Plus slideshows/movies with muzak too.

        It’s pretty smart though it does get confused if you take a photograph of a screen.
