Many of us take dozens of pictures, maybe hundreds, on an iPhone or iPad over time. And all these photos are mixed together in one place. Including screenshots, photos you download from the internet, and pictures you receive from various social networks, all in the primary camera album. This makes it difficult to find a specific image or images in the midst of this volume. This is why organizing your photos with albums is the right way to quickly get to the ones you want. How do you create albums that organize your photos and access them faster?
With each new update to iOS, Apple is making adjustments to the Camera and Photos app to make them more user-friendly. Indeed, Apple has modified the way to add photos to albums in the latest update to iOS 13.4, so Apple moved the "Add to Album" function to the posts window, so you have to update your device to the latest version.
How to add photos to a new photo album on iPhone and iPad
◉ Open the “Photos” application and click on the “Photos” tab in the lower right or left corner of your screen.
◉ Choose "All Pictures" to browse your entire photo library, then click "Select."
◉ You only need to click on each image to select individually, or if you want to select a group of images, "click and drag" over these images for multi-selection. Once you are done with your selection, click the "Share" icon in the lower left or right corner of your screen.
◉ This will open the sharing window from the bottom of the screen, swipe up, then click "Add to Album".
◉ You will see a set of albums on your device, but if you want to add photos to a separate album, just click on "New Album" and name it, then click Save to create it.
◉ If you go to the “Albums” section in the “Photos” app now, you will notice that the newly created album is located next to the “Newer” album.
◉ You can press and hold the image only and click on share and add it directly to the album, shortening the previous steps.
Thus, you can add photos and organize them into a custom album. By following the same procedure, you can always add more photos to the same album, and keep them updated whenever you want.
Classifying photos in albums is the first step in organizing your iPhone and iPad photo library. For example, if you travel a lot and take a lot of photos, naming the albums after the places you visit will make it much easier to access the photos you have photographed on your device.
Watch the video:
Supported apps automatically create their own albums, such as Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and even Album Screenshots, within the Photos app. Suppose you save a picture from Twitter or share a picture on Instagram, and these social networks have separate photo albums, so the photos you downloaded or shared will be automatically transferred to their albums categorized as such without any interference from you.
Perhaps in the future there will be smart albums and other picture sorting mechanisms as well. Hopefully, you can organize your photo library by categorizing photos into albums.
