Looking to compete with similar options in Google Photos and other apps, Apple's iOS 10 Photos app includes a new Memories tab, which not only groups photos into events automatically but creates customizable slideshow movies for them.
The auto-generated clips can be found by tapping on an event's album. Each mixes together photos and video, and is edited with pans and transitions set to a stock soundtrack. iOS picks out the album content it considers significant.
Unique to Apple's app are two settings sliders which will re-edit the movie without any further input. On a basic level, people can choose to make a clip short, medium-length, or long, with medium being the default.
There are also several soundtrack options, ranging from choices like "Dreamy" and "Chill" through to "Club" and "Extreme." During the company's WWDC keynote, Apple noted that switching between soundtracks will also re-edit a movie to match the music's pace and tone.
As with any other content in Photos, slideshow movies can be shared with friends and family.
iOS 10 is already available in a developer beta, which will be followed by a public beta in July. An official launch is due this fall, presumably in September in tandem with new iPhones.
