  1. This is so so helpful!! It is just what I needed and I had no idea this feature existed. I am about to go down the rabbit hole adding captions to my zillions of pictures. I am so grateful – thank you!

  2. I just tried it by adding the same caption to five photos. But searching for the caption yielded no results, unfortunately.
