I find the predetermined photo albums to be infuriating and illogical. I want to put all of my photos into one place (the library, I assume) and be able to view them by date. I want to remove all of the other albums like “moments”, which makes absolutely no sense to me, and be able to create my own folders if I wish to. How can I simplify the system so I can make and name folders or albums the way I want them, and remove the ones I don’t want? It’s WAY too cumbersome now.
