In This Episode
🛍️ Organizing Shopping Photos and Screenshots
Why we take pictures of clothing, prices, gift ideas, and things we want to remember—and how to make those photos easier to find when we need them.
🔎 Using Keywords to Find Photos Faster
We discuss how keywords such as "shopping," "recipes," or "Christmas party" can help you find related photos without endlessly scrolling through your camera roll.
🍲 Keeping Recipes Organized on Your iPhone
Should your recipes live in Apple Photos, Notes, or somewhere else? We talk about different approaches and why there's no single right answer.
🔗 Adding Links to Photo Captions
Our favourite discovery of the episode! Learn how adding a website link to a photo's caption can help you return to a recipe, product, or other useful information.
📸 Temporary Photos vs. Memories
Not every photo needs to be saved forever. We discuss how to recognize photos that serve a short-term purpose and make them easier to find and eventually delete.
⭐ More Ideas for Photo Ratings
We're revisiting our conversation about five-star photo ratings and brainstorming ways they might help with photo projects, favourite recipes, and organizing everyday information.
Your Tiny Task
Choose one category of photos you regularly save on your iPhone.
It might be:
-
Shopping and gift ideas
-
Recipes
-
Screenshots
-
Holiday planning
-
School or sports information
Try adding a consistent keyword to a few of those photos.
Or, if you have a screenshot of a recipe or product, try adding the original website link to its caption.
Then see how much easier it is to find that information later!

Remember: You don't need to organize every photo you've ever taken. Start with what you're saving today.
