Microsoft gives OneDrive a Pokémon detector in a new update

Microsoft has updated OneDrive with a number of changes but the most intriguing feature that makes it way onto the cloud storage service is a Pokémon detector.

A while ago, a tagging feature was introduced in OneDrive to help find uploads easier and faster. The feature automatically groups photos into different categories using tags like food, Vacation, televisions, dogs, beaches, sunsets and much more.

With the new update, OneDrive gets a Pokémon tag that will automatically detect screenshots of Pokémon which users can later find by searching for the Pokémon's specific name.

Although if you're not interested in Pokémon, OneDrive's new update has a lot more to offer. Users can now use 'Automatic albums' which creates a collage of pictures that have been taken at a certain time and place. the cloud service will even put the best images into a separate album and an “on this day” feature will pop-up a random photo that was taken in the past, so that users can relive a moment.

Microsoft also made general UI improvements with the addition of refined search engine, hero image, larger thumbnails and a revised menu. Users with computers running Windows 10  will now be able to view every photo from their OneDrive account.
