It’s simple:
Open Photos. On the top, you will see the photo grid, and on the bottom you will see the collections view.
Scroll down.
You will eventually find your albums under the header “Albums” in small tiles that have a key photo on the left and a title on the right.
Click one to open it.
If you want your Albums at or closer to the top, then scroll to the bottom of the collections view and tap “Customize & Reorder.” You can then reorganize where your collections are and choose the collections you want.
I hope this helps!

How can you “tap on albums” when you can’t see “albums”?
This worked for me! I was able to uncheck everything but my albums and now they are available and grouped where I can see them. Thank you!
Yeah, it changed a bunch. There is no longer separate Library, Albums, etc, windows to select at the bottom. Now when you open Photos in iOS 18, you get everything all a once. (good movie) The top half is the Library, and the bottom has Recent Days and then Albums, People&Pets, Pinned collections like Map and Recent, Memories, and so on. You just Scroll up and down to find Albums.
You can tap on Albums to get a screen that has only albums in their folders. I just discovered that!
Does this work?
Juszcz5 and everyone. Your Albums are still there. When you open Photos and scroll down to Albums, hit the right arrow next to Albums > and you will see all of your previous albums prior to iOS 18 update. The order may be out of sequence but you are able to see them all, scroll down and open any of your prior albums It also gives you the ability to see Personal, Shared, Activity albums.
I hope this helps and eases a lot of frustration.
FYI EVERYONE: I contacted Apple Support - new design - just open your photos and keep scrolling down and you will find your Album - not convenient or user-friendly at all, but it is there.
