What is Apple Photos?

Photos is a robust digital photograph management and editing application developed by Apple. Intended to be more user-friendly than its predecessor iPhoto, Photos organizes images based on a "moment" which combines time and location metadata. The app provides a range of intuitive editing tools that enable granular manipulation capabilities, rewarding users who explore the functionality in-depth. A one-click enhance feature allows for automatic adjustments to improve image quality. Seamlessly integrated with iCloud Photo Library, Photos keeps photos and videos synced across a user's designated Apple devices, including any edits or album structures. In addition to professional printing options, the app introduces new print formats like square sizes and panoramas that can be turned into physical products like books or calendars
