Photos App

Is there a way to see video file names in the photos app? I downloaded my class videos and I have no ideas which one is which.

iPad mini (6th generation)

The Photos App displays Photo and Video files by thumbnail image, organised by date and by assigned album. Individual filenames are not exposed by the Photos App.


If you wish to see and/or organise photos and videos by filename, you’ll need to use a third-party File Manager App. Of the many available in the Apple App Store, perhaps consider Stratopherix FileBrowser - Document Manager, or its “pro version” FileBrowser Professional:

You might review the extensive online Manual and help files to determine suitability for your needs.

Different App Developers may be working to different design criteria - and in this case, Apple’s Photos App doesn’t meet your specific needs or expectation. This shouldn’t of itself suggest that the App is deficient, but does perhaps suggest that there will be something more appropriate for your need. In this respect, I have attempted to direct you to something more suitable that does meet your described requirement.
