How to view your memories in Photos on iPhone

The Memories collection in the Photos app includes personalized collections of photos and videos that feature a significant person, pet, place, activity, or event from your photo library.

In a memory, you can filter and sort the photos and videos, view all of them, or search for photos and videos. You can share a memory, delete it, show its location on a map, or play the memory movie, and you can add a memory to Favorites to make your favorite memories easier to find.
