Crafting Memory Movies in Photos on iOS or iPadOS 18: An Ultimate Guide
With the launch of iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18, Apple has unveiled fresh methods for creating Memory movies in the Photos application. Regardless of whether you possess the newest iPhone or an older variant, this guide will help you navigate the steps for creating and personalizing your memory movies.
Making Memories without Apple Intelligence
Getting Started
For those using older iPhones that lack Apple Intelligence, making Memory movies is still easy. Begin by selecting an album you’ve created in Photos.
- Creating a New Album: If you haven’t established an album yet, press the plus sign to generate and title a new album. You can include photos and videos from your entire library.
Adding Content to Albums: To include several photos or videos, tap the Select button, choose your media, and use the ellipses button to add them to your album. Keep in mind, your media remains in the main Photos Library.
Playing Memory Videos
Once your album is set up, press and hold on the album, choose Play Memory Video from the drop-down menu, and enjoy the automatically generated movie featuring music from your Apple Music library. Make adjustments as necessary after viewing.
The Apple Intelligence Approach to Crafting Memory Movies
For devices that support Apple Intelligence, like the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, or iPhone 16 models, the process is even more user-friendly.
Utilizing Apple Intelligence
- Creating a Memory Movie: Head to the Memories section in Photos, enter a description such as “family and friends in New York throughout the years,” and Apple Intelligence will automatically create a Memory movie based on your keywords.
Customization Options: Pause the film to modify the sequence of selections using the Memory Mixes button. You can also switch the music to a track from your Music library.
Personalizing Your Memory Movie
Personalization Features
While the movie is playing, tap the screen to make adjustments:
- Memory Mixes: Modify the sequence and pick the best option.
- Music Options: Select a different track from your library.
Additional Customization
- Title and Order: Modify the title and rearrange the photos and videos through the ellipses menu.
- Filters: Apply filters for a distinctive appearance, like black & white or faded color.
