How to Add or Remove Photos and Videos from a Memory on iPhone

Photos, the iPhone’s built-in gallery app, is more intelligent than you may imagine. In addition to photo and video management tools, it offers a feature called Memories.

In essence, the Memories on Photos app creates a Memory Mix by identifying occasions, places, and individuals in your iPhone’s picture collection.

What does the Photos app’s Memory Mix mean?
Your iPhone’s Photos software identifies individuals, locations, and occasions in your library and displays them in carefully crafted groups called Memories.

Before iOS 17, the Photos app could only generate memories using images stored in your library, but now Apple has expanded this feature to include videos as well.

What’s more interesting is that the latest iOS updates also let you edit your memories to make them even more personal.

Before you get started
Before you get started, you need to ensure these things:
Make sure that your iPhone has the latest version of iOS installed.
If you want to update your memories across all Apple devices, sign in to iCloud with the same Apple ID across devices, then enable iCloud Photos.
