Hello,
I have been using the new Be My AI service and it has been great at
describing all of the photos in my photos app.
Is there a way to either label or rename these photos now that I know
what they are so that I can find them easier? I would think there
would have to be an easy way of labeling
I am noticing what appear to be widgets on my new 15 Pro phone. I feel they are
not of much use to me as a total. Are there some that exist by default? Am I
accidentally creating them and if so how, and how do I find and get rid of
them?
