Changes: Version History In PhotoDateMark v6.0.0, we added the ability to recognize and search for multiple languages in images using Apple's AI capabilities. Previous versions could only handle English text in images.
If you're an English user and don't care about other languages in your images, simply update as before.
If you're a multilingual user, to use the multilingual recognition and search capabilities in version 6.0.0, the app needs to perform preprocessing work again. Note: a simple update is not sufficient. Please follow these steps:
1. First, uninstall the app from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. (This step will not damage anything.)
2. Reinstall PhotoDateMark v6.0.0 from the Apple App Store. (If you are an existing user, you will not be required to pay again.)
3. Open PhotoDateMark v6.0.0 and search for any word in your All Photos album. Wait for the search to complete. (This step will allow the app to complete all preprocessing work, which will take a little time. Once completed, this tedious preprocessing work will not be required again.)
It's done!
