Google Photos
Digital photo vault
Google Photos is a cloud-based service for storing, organizing, and sharing digital images and videos.
The app uses machine learning to group photos by faces, places, and subjects, making large collections searchable: I found that beach photo from 2019 in Google Photos.
It automatically backs up images from phones and offers basic editing tools.
