Your future self will thank you! 

I focus on those in the apple ecosystem, but I know these tips can be helpful to Android users too.

1.QUICKLY FIND A SPECIFIC PHOTO: If you are looking for a specific picture, narrow your search.

1. Click on the search icon in the lower right-hand corner of the photos app.

2. Search by location, year, color, dog, cat, shoes, plant, and even a particular person (if you have identified them in your app).

2. KEEP TRACK OF RECEIPTS & PHOTOS: Take a picture of a receipt or anything you will need to find and reference later. You may already do this step, but you likely don't process it in a way you can quickly find later. Here is how to solve that problem:

1. In the photos app, click on the picture.

2. Next, click on the "i" below the photo and add a caption, for example, "Receipt for tires on Toyota 2020."

3. Now, if you need to reference this for a warranty, you will be able to find it quickly by searching "Toyota" or "tires."

3. DON'T UNDERESTIMATE "BEFORE" PHOTOS: Finally, take a BEFORE picture no matter the project's size; this will be a reference to fix it or put the item back together. This simple tip will make a difference in almost every project.

If you have a cool tip that most people don't know about, please share. Let us know if you want to see a video on this.
