Since this feature is entirely based on machine learning, Apple has now made some changes to the app to avoid creating some unwanted memories.<\/p>\n<p>As <em>9to5Mac<\/em> analyzed in the iOS 15.5 beta 3 code, the Photos app now has a list of \u201cSensitive Locations,\u201d so that any photos taken there will never be added to a memory. Interestingly, all the places banned in this version are related to the Holocaust.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the list of places that are blocked from the Memories feature in the Photos app with iOS 15.5 beta 3:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Yad Vashem Memorial<\/li>\n<li>Dachau concentration camp<\/li>\n<li>US Holocaust Museum<\/li>\n<li>Majdanek concentration camp<\/li>\n<li>Berlin Holocaust Memorial<\/li>\n<li>Schindler Factory<\/li>\n<li>Belzec extermination camp\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Anne Frank House<\/li>\n<li>Sobibor extermination camp<\/li>\n<li>Treblinka extermination camp<\/li>\n<li>Chelmno-Kulmhof extermination camp<\/li>\n<li>Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Each location has latitude, longitude, and radius assigned, so that the Photos app will ignore images taken at these locations when creating new memories. Of course, Apple can update this list with new places with future iOS updates.<\/p>\n<p>iOS 15.5 beta also brings changes to the Wallet app and reveals upcoming changes to Apple Pay. It\u2019s unclear when exactly the update will be released to the public.<\/p>\n<h2 >Read also:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>iOS 15.5 beta 1 changes and features: Wallet updates &amp; handy new HomePod feature [Video]<\/li>\n<li>iOS 15.5 includes support for apps with external purchases<\/li>\n<li>iOS 15.5 hints at Bancomat and Bancontact on Apple Pay<\/li>\n<li>Apple to rebrand iTunes Pass in Wallet app with iOS 15.5<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p><!-- youtube embed -->\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"source-image\">https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/04\/Apple-Photos-app-Memories.jpg?resize=1200%2C628&#038;quality=82&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1<\/div>\n<div class=\"source-link\">https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2022\/04\/26\/ios-15-5-beta-blocks-sensitive-locations-for-memories-in-photos-app\/<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>iOS 15.5 beta blocks \u2018Sensitive Locations\u2019 for Memories in Photos app Apple today released the third beta of iOS 15.5 to developers, and while the update doesn\u2019t seem to have any significant changes, Apple has made an interesting tweak to its native Photos app. The system will now block \u201cSensitive Locations\u201d for Memories in the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2962,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pr.gagadget.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2961"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pr.gagadget.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pr.gagadget.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pr.gagadget.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pr.gagadget.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2961"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/pr.gagadget.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2961\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pr.gagadget.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2962"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pr.gagadget.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2961"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pr.gagadget.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2961"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pr.gagadget.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2961"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
