Apple’s next major updates for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS will add a new “Recovered” album in the Photos app to help you find photos and videos on your device that may have been lost or damaged, according to 9to5Mac.
When updating to iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia, your device will look for possible photos or videos that may appear in the Recovered album, 9to5Mac reports. If there is, the recovered album will appear in the Utilities section of the application.
Note that the recovered album is separate from the Recently deleted album, where deleted photos are accessible for 30 days before being permanently deleted. I asked Apple if photos or videos in the Recovered album will also be automatically deleted, and I’ll update this story with what I hear back.
Apple released public betas for iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS Sequoia and more on Monday.
