Keywords are tags or labels you add to your photos and videos to help you easily find them. After assigning keywords, you can search for photos and videos by the keywords associated with them.
You can type more than one keyword at a time when you search, and you can rename, delete, or favorite keywords later. A favorite keyword shows up as a filter option in your photo library, albums, and collections.
