How do I change the photo view on my iPhone?

They have changed the order of how the photos are seen as are your albums. I have a project due tomorrow and I updated my phone and now my photos are in the wrong order. I can’t figure out even how to use the phone for the photos. If I’m gonna have to learn a new phone I might as well get another company’s phone

Sure, makes total sense, because there won't be any learning curve on another manufacturers phone, right?


Yes, Apple made some significant changes to the Photo app, which I've now learned to like a lot. You can customize it to better meet your needs and this support article explains how --> Customize the Photos app on iPhone – Apple Support (UK)

You are free to purchase any phone you wish. I suggest one that will meet your needs while still protecting your privacy and security. You might have misunderstood this Support Site for a Social Media site, as the focus here is to ask a technical question and other users may be able to offer a solution. You can view the user guide to the Photos app here as there are many new features that you can take advantage or you can learn how to use an app on a different phone and expect yearly changes to that app as well.
