Your best photos, from your iPhone and your family's, on every screen you own. Now with Cura AI. Most of us have thousands of photos on our phones, and so do our partners and families. The best moments rarely make it off them. CURA finds them and shows them on the TVs, iPads and screens around your home. CURA AI: THE BEST OF YOUR PHOTOS, PICKED FOR YOU Thousands of photos, and no time to choose? Cura AI looks through your photo library and picks and curates your best moments: the people, places and occasions worth seeing every day. • Built for big libraries: Cura AI works through thousands of photos and picks around 500 of your best for your displays. • The whole family: run Cura AI on each iPhone and iPad on your account, and everyone's best moments come together on the same screens. • Private by design: Cura AI runs on your iPhone or iPad. Nothing is uploaded while it works. • You're in control: review any pick before anything uploads. Remove photos, swap in a better shot of the same moment, or add favourites it set aside. • Choose who sees what: set each photo for everyone, family, a partner, or keep it on your phone only. Sensitive photos are flagged for you to decide. • Smart clean-up: duplicates, screenshots, receipts and messaging-app images are set aside automatically. • Fresh, not frozen: run Cura AI again any time to add your newest best moments, and your screens follow.
