How do I find liked photos in an album

In photos there are very limited options to search albums. I cannot search for image in an album and filter for the images I liked.

You can filter an album by some criteria, categories, places, people. When you view the album, you should recognized the "liked" photos by the heart badge. But we cannot filter by the favourite badge, which is a pity, you are right. We can only search for one album at a time and not combine two album names in a search.

Try it the other way round.

  • Search for "Favourites" (Or "Favorites", depending on your language settings), then filter the search further. It helps, if the photos in your albums have been tagged with keywords. This cannot be done directly on the iPhone, but photos synced from a Mac may have keywords.
  • Then search for things characteristic for the album you want, like the place or the time of day.

For example: All photos in my album "Aliasing" have been tagged with the keyword "Aliasing". So I can find the Favourites in this album by filtering the Favourites album by Aliasing:


Or I can find the night shots taken in London by filtering the Favourites by "London" and "Night".
