Apple Macs reportedly include undocumented family member classifier

Original: Every Mac comes with an (undocumented) family member classifier

Apple's macOS appears to include a hidden classification feature that automatically identifies family relationships between people in photos and personal data, as part of Apple Intelligence's personal knowledge graph. Users and developers discussing it note the capability was never documented by Apple, raising questions about how the company profiles personal relationships on-device and what else may be quietly built into every Mac.

Why now: Revelation of a hidden AI feature in consumer Macs has sparked privacy and transparency concerns among users and developers.
