Help ID these berries

Some homeless lady convinced me to try the berries from this tree. They look like oval blueberries, maybe a little bigger. Sweet but a little tannic, with small seeds, any idea?

Not sure what those are, but my partner has an app on her phone that identifies plants by taking a picture of the leaves. Seems to work pretty good. When I took botany in college, we learned to use keys to identify plants, but that requires lugging a big book around.

Lol. No offense to you or the homeless lady, but IMO that's not a very smart reason to decide whether or not to consume unknown wild foods. YMMV I guess.

Hoover got it. Myrtle. They have the slight junipet taste from the myrtle description. We started talking because I warned her about eating random berries but she said she'd eaten them a few days before and felt fine. She seemed sane, the berries were pretty good in a small dose. The airplane lyrics have been in my head even since.

Not to split hairs, but grapes ARE berries, and that's no grape, "indigenous" or otherwise.

Honey berries 100%. I grow them in the garden, aurora borealis variety to be specific. Kind of like the sour patch kids of the berry family.

Interesting to see all of the various responses. My thoughts on unknown Berries are "Do not eat them just because the Birds eat them."
Same with Wild Mushrooms.
Although many Amanita species are delicious, many are extremely poisonous and will kill people.
Every Grape I've seen is accompanied by Grape leaves, which are not present in the photo.

I thought I posted this
I thought I posted this yesterday but I don't see it so.....I am going with myrtle, for a couple reasons. They had an astringent herbal flavor that reminded me of juniper, just like myrtle berries are described as tasting. Honeyberries are described as being sweeter. Also, honeyberry is described as a shrub or bush growing up to 5-6 feet. These were on a tree where I had to reach up to get the lowest berries. Finally, I guarantee that this was a cheap and common plant, as it is in a very humble city park. I don't know how common honeyberries are, but I know myrtle's are pretty common.

The leaves in the original
The leaves in the original shape are pointy, not rounded at the top, and resemble the picture of myrtle more than the honeyberry, IMO. I don't know either plant though, just basing myself off the pictures posted.
