You can create new folders and folders inside folders and albums inside folders.

This is described here: https://photojoseph.com/tips/2015/4/10/create-folders-photos-ios#.XC-NdS2ZPNA


But Photos iOS does not let us move existing albums between folders, afaik.

So we have to create each album directly inside the folder where we want it to be.


It is much easier to create the nested folders with albums inside on a Mac and to sync them to Photos iOS with iCloud Photos. I am creating my album structure always on the Mac and then they will sync with iCloud Photos to my iOS devices.
