iOS has started doing this, at least for photos.
What's the difference? Potentially apple itself can fecide to scan all your photos on the phone....
Apple photos does that — on device.
Apple Photos already does this but you have to use icloud
It works on iOS without access to your photos. Parent is right.
The consumer can control it by not enabling iCloud photo sync, right?
Only photos that get sent to icloud are "scanned"
I think Apple might be doing this themselves, dig into Photos.app on Mac Os.
iCloud photos aren’t just jpegs in a directory
Apple does something similar in Photos on iOS.
