Hello bbtwest,

I understand after turning off iCloud Photos on your wife's iPhone 8 you saw a message telling you curation was complete and you want to know what the message means. I'm happy to answer this for you.

Photos for iOS takes an interactive approach to curate your past photos and videos into collections. These collections are viewable in Memories, and they are created automatically. You can learn more about this here: Enjoy your Memories in Photos. It sounds like you got that message because Photos was finishing that process.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Take care.
