Create Smart Album for files saved by specific App

I seem to remember in the past that some apps that had access to save into Photos would have their own smart album created so you could quickly find all files saved in from that specific app. Currently I can search by that specific app and find everything from it but I can't find a way to make a smart album for that.

Is there currently a way to create a smart album for, as an example, all saved videos from TikTok?

Again I can type TikTok into the search and find all videos saved from it but I would like to make a smart album from that search

Thank you! I ended up figuring out that having a smart album filtering with "text is tiktok" works to create a smart album and it picked up nearly all the videos from that app ... Where it's pulling that text from remains a mystery to me but this works well enough.

Now this is the point that I realize .... Shortcuts won't recognize smart albums ... 😂 Ah well, this still makes life easier

Hi

Find out what the search is finding. For example, is TikTok adding a TikTok keyword.

if it is then your smart album is "keyword - is - TikTok"
