This allows you to use the latest +advances in AI in a privacy preserving manner. + +* You can search for your photos by the **faces** of the people in them. Ente + will show you all the faces in a photo, and will also try to group similar + faces together to create clusters of people so that you can give them names, + and quickly find all photos with a given person in them. + +* You can search for your photos by typing natural language descriptions of + them. For example, you can search for "night", "by the seaside", "the red + motorcycle next to a fountain", etc. Within the app, this ability is + sometimes referred to as **magic search**. + +* We will build on this foundation to add more forms of advanced search. + +You can enable face and magic search in the app's preferences on either the +mobile app or the desktop app. + +If you have a big library, we recommend enabling this on the desktop app first, +because it can index your existing photos faster (The app needs to download your +originals to index them which can happen faster over WiFi, and indexing is also +faster on your computer as compared to your mobile device). + +Once your existing photos have been indexed, then you can use either. The mobile +app is fast enough to easily and seamlessly index the new photos that you take. + +> [!TIP] +> +> Even for the initial indexing, you don't necessarily need the desktop app, it +> just will be a bit faster. + +The indexes are synced across all your devices automatically using the same end-to-end encypted security that we use for syncing your photos. + +Note that the desktop app does not currently support modifying the automatically +generated face groupings, that is only supported by the mobile app.
