Moving photo albums into photo folders

I can create & name a new folder. I can create and name a new album inside that folder. And I can select photos to put into this new album.


But I have 10,000+ photos and several dozen albums.


I want to move existing albums into a new folder. There’s no way to do it!


You can right click on an album and rename or delete it. But you can’t move it (into a folder). The functionality simply hasn’t been set up!


The idea of creating a new album inside a folder and moving photos into it one by one is beyond ludicrous. I have 10,000+ photos and several dozen albums.



iPhone 14, iOS 17

You are right -- you can't move an album into a folder in iOS. Those of us with Macs do it in Photos on our computers, and then that transfers to our iPhones and iPads. But you can't do it directly on the phone.


If you would like to make suggestions to Apple, go here:

Feedback - Photos - Apple


I would suggest, however, that you try to appear serious, and leave out words like "ludicrous." They are much more likely to pay attention to suggestions that are polite and serious sounding.
