The Enhanced Visual Search feature allows you to search for photos using landmarks or points of interest.
Apple says your device privately matches places in your photos to a global index it maintains on its servers. The feature applies homomorphic encryption and differential privacy, and uses an OHTTP relay that hides your IP address. This allegedly prevents Apple from learning about the information in your photos.
You can turn off Enhanced Visual Search on your iOS or iPadOS device by going to Settings > Apps > Photos. On Mac, open Photos and go to Settings > General.
