Here’s how easy you can find the specific photos or videos you would like to see.


Here’s how to easily search photos or videos on your iPhone

All the steps written here are tested on:

Latest iOS – at the time this article is written is iOS 15.5 and using the iPhone that I currently have – iPhone XR. In case you are not on iOS 15 or iPadOS 15 yet, check the link here to get iOS 15 & iPadOS 15: Here’s how to update iPhone to iOS 15 today (iPad and iPod Touch included!) at JILAXZONE.

Should you are using different version of iOS or iPadOS, the steps may be slightly different but should not deviate too much. Anyway, in case you have questions / issues, feel free to put them down on the comment section down below, I’ll be more than happy to help you.

1) On your iPhone, open Photos app.

2) Navigate to Search tab.

3) Under the Search screen, tap on the Search bar and key in items, places or any attributes you would like to search for (E.g.: cheese, car, iPhone, spring, dining, New York). Alternatively, below the search bar, you can also search by People, Moments, Places and Categories – which iOS has generated for you.

Search specific Photos and Videos easily on iPhone – using the Search tab and Search bar. I can even find photos taken from my old iPhone 4 back in the days!

Do you know you can even search for specific item, such as “iPhone 13” – on the search bar. It will return you all photos taken from your iPhone 13. If you have photos or videos taken using your old iPhone – such as iPhone 7, you can also search “iPhone 7” on the search bar and it will return you all photos taken from iPhone 7.
