The Memories feature in iOS 15 Photos is a great way to rediscover forgotten photos and videos on your iPhone. With this auto-generated collection, your device recognizes images taken on the same event or day and groups them into a slideshow accompanied by transitions and music.
While the default experience is fantastic, iOS 15 now allows for greater customization to tailor your Memories to your preferences using Memory Mixes. You can edit the background music and apply filters to transform the appearance of your images.
Here’s how you can enhance your Memories using the new music and filtering features in iOS 15 Photos:
How to Edit Memories in iOS 15 Photos
