The Photos app is getting a handful of
improvements, but it seems most of the
work has gone into a new Memories
experience. There are hundreds of new
songs, and if you’re a subscriber to Apple

changes, but they’re welcome. You can

app from a supported health care provider,
you can get a description of what the
results mean. You can also more easily
share data from your Health app with your
doctor, if their system supports it.
