I understand it right now.

Here, the development of how it all works and why - for everyone who is looking for a solution.

Thank you all for your help.

It is a pity that it is not possible for me to separate photos from work with photos from the main folder.

I don't want to delete these photos, I just want to hide them from Library->Photos.

There is an option to hide these photos from Library->Photos:

And if I understand correctly, I have no way for me to see them in the newly created album "JOB"

Albums that are created on your device or in iCloud Photos are for local organization only and do not contain copies of the actual photos themselves, but merely pointers to those photos. If you delete the photos in all photos, they will de deleted in the albums that you create as well.

In the main place where all the photos are.

Library -> Photos

I have this problem:

I have work-related photos and created a "JOB" folder to store them.

I would like the photos in this folder to be visible only in this folder "JOB" and not where all the photos are.

So i need them visible only in Albums->JOB and not in Library->Photos

You can create a folder on your Mac, to sync selected photos inside that folder to your iPhone. This folder will be turned into an album on your iPhone, and the content will not show up in other albums.

But, in order to change the content, you will have to access the folder on the Mac and sync again, using iTunes.

That is exactly what I told you in my first response. I’m sorry you didn’t understand what I was saying, but I’m glad that you finally understand.

However, just to reiterate, this is what I said.

Albums that are created on your device or in iCloud Photos are for local organization only and do not contain copies of the actual photos themselves, but merely pointers to those photos. If you delete the photos in all photos, they will de deleted in the albums that you create as well.

You can see them in the album you created but not if you hide them. If you hide them they are hidden everywhere.
