When you open the Photos app, navigate to the Albums tab to see all of your albums. In addition to the default albums, you’re able to create your own custom (regular) albums on your iPhone. But they’re “hard” albums in that they show up everywhere. These are all smart albums because they’re automatically updated whenever you take new photos that fit their criteria. Apple Photos also has a feature called Memories, which is essentially also a collection of albums that it pulls together automatically to help you remember past adventures. #7 Go Beyond the Default AlbumsĪpple Photos starts everyone off with a set of default library albums – All Photos, Favorites, People, Places, Videos, Selfies, Bursts, Live Photos, Screenshots, Animated, and Recently Deleted. You can create these types of “hard” albums on any device, and they show up in the cloud too, which makes it easy to organize with them on the go. You can put one photo in multiple albums, which is great if you have photos from an event and you’d like to organize by people or share with someone else, etc. The regular Albums are exactly what they sound like – a group of photos with a cute cover that you name. But that’s OK because those are pretty great too. Unfortunately, these types of albums are not available on mobile devices or in the cloud, so you’re stuck with regular albums on your smartphone. They pull photos together based on metadata that you specify (like dates, people, locations, tags, names, etc) and they come in handy when you’re organizing on the desktop app. Smart Albums are custom albums based on saved searches. There are two types of albums in Apple Photos: Smart Albums, and regular Albums. A great way to do that is by creating albums.
