See iOS 10's New Photos App in Action
The Photos app in iOS 10 has been updated with what Apple calls "Siri intelligence," which essentially equates to new deep learning techniques and advanced facial and object recognition algorithms.
Using these tools, Photos is able to scan a user's entire photo library, intelligently detecting people, animals, places, and objects and grouping photos together in a logical way based on those parameters. As can be seen in the video below, this enables powerful searching capabilities, allowing users to search for "cats" to bring up their images of cats, or "mountains" to find all images taken of mountains.

New to Photos on iOS is a "People" album, housing all of a user's images featuring people, grouped based on facial recognition, and there's a world map that shows the physical location where each of a user's photos were taken.
Perhaps the best new feature in Photos is a "Memories" tab that uses all of the image recognition, date, and location information to aggregate photos based around certain days, vacation trips, family events, and more, so your photos can be revisited on a regular basis. With Memories, there are options to watch quick video montages of photos, which are set to music.
Also new in the iOS 10 Photos app are Live Filters that work with Live Photos and new Markup tools for annotating photos.
The new features in Photos are powered by a device's GPU with all learning done on a device-by-device basis to ensure full privacy. Apple has made it clear that it does not see images or image metadata. When using the new Photos features, each device with a photo library will need to scan images independently -- there is no iCloud link yet.
In case you missed them, make sure to check out our seven minute WWDC 2016 video, which features a quick rundown on all of the new iOS, macOS Sierra, tvOS, and watchOS features Apple introduced this week, and our video highlighting iOS 10's overhauled Lock screen. stay tuned to MacRumors for more in-depth software videos.

hopefully you can disable that feature. seems like a huge privacy breach.
I don't think you know what a privacy breach is.

I tried it with the "Best of 3 months" setting. Played my trip to PHX, my puppies, family pics, nudes, screenshots of conversations on Tinder, and some food and memes. Not exactly what I was expecting for my friends to see lol.

Looks good, but how will this interact with the faces tags which I have done on my mac in Photos? Will the assembled albums also sync and appear on the mac?

It's the simple things that Photos lacks for me.... like being able to rotate an image without having to edit > press the cropping tool > rotate > save.
Also it would be a nice addition if Screen Rotation would disable itself when you've got an image or video open.
I'd like to be able to find out file sizes too... and sort by date (Ascending/Descending), File size, etc.

I do like how this is done on device. The idea of FB and Google using my photos to build a library of my contacts, where I've been, what I do, etc. and building a profile of me always creeped me out.

This is all happening on your phone, not on the server.

Has anyone been able to sync iOS People with macOS People? Not sure if this desync was done intentionally or not implemented yet

Privacy breach like?
Do people here even read the freaking article before posting your BS comments?
