Microsoft has introduced a powerful AI-driven update to the Windows 11 Photos app. This new feature automatically categorizes your images—including screenshots and receipts—directly on Copilot+ PCs. Thanks to advanced on-device NPUs (Neural Processing Units), your photos are sorted quickly and securely without needing to upload anything to the cloud.

Privacy-Focused Photo Management
Microsoft’s commitment to user privacy stands out with this update. By processing and categorizing images locally, you don’t have to worry about your sensitive data leaving your device. This AI enhancement aligns perfectly with Microsoft’s broader push into AI-powered productivity and user experience within Windows 11.
What’s Coming Next?
Microsoft plans to expand the types of categories in future updates. This means you can expect even more intelligent organization, helping reduce digital clutter and making it easier to find specific types of images when you need them. The new Photos app features make photo management smarter and more efficient for all Windows 11 users.
