photo sorting

Hi JenniferJBS,

Welcome to the Apple Community.

We are all Apple users, like yourself :-)

Seems the default albums automatically reflect some of the photos in the Library

To take charge of your photos, you can create your own albums, and sort your photos in the albums.

How to Make photo albums

How to Edit and organize albums

Seems you can filter and sort photos (eg: newest to oldest) in an Album you create:

Hope this helps.

More info, if needed:

Tap "Table of Contents" at the top of the page that opens from the link below.

For all the articles on using iPhone Photos, Tap on "Apps", then "Photos":

All the. best :-)

You're welcome.Thank you for your reply. and for letting us know.

Sorry things were not as you would wish. Seems we often want things the way they were.

It might make more sense, when you have accumulated a few thousand photos.

You can move multiple photos from the Library in one go>

Add photos and videos to an existing album

Tap Library at the bottom of the screen, then view your photos by Days or All Photos.

Tap Select at the top of the screen.

Tap the photos and videos you want to add, then tap .

Tap Add to Album from the list of actions.

Tap the album you want to add to.

You can always send feedback to Apple, if you wish.

There's a webpage for sending feedback:

Cheers :-)

Sorry, JenniferJBS, I don't know why Apple does the things that it does within its software packages..

We are all Apple users, like yourself, so don't know a whole lot more more than what you do.

Apple supplies a lot of free software, and we can use it, or add other apps (eg: from the App Store) that suit us.

Most of us persevere with learning new methods from time to time, as all technology moves through changes.

Our old ways of doing things are often "sacrificed",. (As you say, Android and iOS are different),.

A new iOS (operating system) version, with software updates, will become available before long, as it often does.

If needed:

There's a Photos Support Team online:

(with a "Get Support" link or a support app. at the bottom of their website)

Photos - Official Apple Support:

Sorry, we don't know what Apple intends in future updates to Photos app.

The Library will always show all the photos .... Recents will show new photos ... Albums will have whatever you choose.
