Thread: iPhone photos - reveal your watch hobby (problem)

    iPhone photos - reveal your watch hobby (problem)

    I guess I should have known this, but I was told today you can search your photos for key words and it’ll bring up all photos related to that. So for a bit of fun I typed in Watches. I got 803 photos presented back to me. A useful feature on a phone for sure, but somewhat reflective of the unhealthy amount of time I spend taking photos and screen grabs, and other peoples images.

    Go on, reveal how many you have on your phone. Who here had the biggest number?

    I had no idea that you could search in this way. I saw the search function but just assumed it was a waste of time.

    41 for me. But in my defence, it is a new-ish phone and I haven't transitioned across old pictures, plus it hasn't brought all the pictures up for some reason, so the tech. is definitely not perfect!

    I tend to delete all the images that I’ve taken of a watch once it’s sold, so only have about 20 images of the two watches that I own. If I had kept all the images that I have taken over the years it would be in the high thousands for sure.

    However, in my defence, a top tip I was once given was to always take a few pictures then pick the best.

    Or to put it another way. 8 good pictures and a big pile of out of focus dross.

    Yeah, of mine I think a good two thirds really don’t need to be taking up hard drive space. But congrats to Itsguy with 3700 who is currently winning the race to the top of the obsessive watch fan (or you just have a higher proportion of crappy out of focus photos?)

    Glad to see I’ve been overtaken, and yes, a high proportions of crappy ones which I was too lazy to delete, after using the same technique as M4tt. Only a couple of hundred made the cut, and even those weren’t great.

    But I see that Jocke and LTF are keeping us in suspense ;-)

    Interesting, I assumed it would search the text that you named your pic and as all my pics are untitled/named thought it would return zero.

    Ad it happens in for 806.
    Cheers,

    Only 8 - though I suffer from a compulsion to only keep the minimum number of photos on my phone and delete 99%. I know - kind of defeats the object :shrug:

    I had no idea my phone could be searched in this way. How it knows there's a watch in a pic I've no idea.
    I'm at the bottom end with 334!
