Placing photos in folders
Is there a way to organize photos into separate folders?
I use albums but this also show photos in global view of photos. I'm looking to actually move certain photos into new folders (not albums).

An album can only contain photos and videos.
You can not create a folder in an album!
A folder can only contain other folders and albums.
You can not store any photos / videos directly in a folder!
I have folders for each year: 2022, 2021, ...
Each of these folders contains albums for the different events: 2022-10-25-Family Party ...
For vacations I create a sub-folder in the folder 2022: 2022-06-USA Vacation
This folder will then contain albums for each day: 2022-06-05-Page, Arizona
You can never move photos out of the global view!!
Global view will always contain all your photos and videos.
Folders and albums are optional ways to organise your data.

You can create new folders and sub-folders.
Each folder can contain multiple albums.
Each album can contain multiple photos and videos.
The same photo / video can be in multiple albums.
But all photos and videos that you have will always be shown in the global view, there is no way to have them only in an album!
Organize and find your photos on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Thanks for the reply.
What is the difference between an album and a folder? Can I create a folder and move photos out of global view into mulitple folders?
