INTRO: Searching a selected image out of thousands of images may be a tedious task. While macOS already had the choice to caption photos for a fast search, iOS lacked this nifty tool until the arrival of iOS 14.
So, no more hopping from one end of the photo library to the opposite just to settle on a specific photo or video! Let me show you ways you’ll add a caption to photos and videos in iOS 14 or iPadOS 14 to seek out them quickly.
