The Next iPhone Update Could Include A Photo Folder Just For Your Selfies
Reports from those playing around with iOS9 beta ahead of the update’s scheduled release this fall say Apple has included a “Selfies” folder in Photos, as well as a dedicated category for screenshots.
AppleInsider notes that it seems the Selfies folder pulls in any photos taking with the iPhone’s front-facing camera, but it doesn’t seem like iOS is using any complicated computer vision algorithms to detect actual faces.
Both of these new folders may end up in the final iOS 9 update in the fall, or heck, they might get the ax before then. We can only wait, and hope that there will be a day in the future where no awkward bathroom selfie is left behind on Throwback Thursday.
