How to Find Photos on Your iPhone with Multiple Search Terms

An iPhone photo search term can use one or more of the following categories: date, location, business name, events, people, captions, and type of photo. Here's how to filter pictures on your iPhone using multiple search terms. 

1. Open the Photos app.
   
   
2. Tap the Search icon.
   
   
    
3. Type your search terms into the Search bar at the top of the page.
   
   
4. Mix and match people, places, dates, and more to find the picture you want.
   
   

For my Apple Photos search, using two terms narrowed my search down to eight photos; using three terms narrowed it to one. I hope this tip helps you find the photos you need quickly and efficiently!
