Hi guys! Is there any smart gallery app that can help tag/search the gallery pictures through automatically created tags, such as objects/things recognized in the pictures, locations etc? This is a rather convenient feature in some apple and samsung phones, which I think would be nice to have…But I reckon must consume some CPU/battery. I’d still want it scanning the gallery from time to time, if it was a private local process.

    It syncs your photos so typically your photos will be both backed up to your cloud and on your device. Photos in the app show an icon depending on whether it’s local only (hasn’t been backed up yet) or on both cloud and local, or cloud only (if you deleted the local copy). There will eventually be a feature that allows you to bulk delete all local copies of photos that are backed up (similar to Google photos app’s free up space feature) but for now photos will keep a local copy unless you select the specific photo and delete the local copy.

    Since photos and videos are often local + cloud, that means if you open a photo in the immich gallery which has been cloud synced but still available locally, sharing to another app will use the local copy. Otherwise it will download the photo before sharing to the other app. So it’s pretty seamless in that way.
