The new Photos app feels confusing and harder to navigate compared to the old one. It lacks the simple organization we used to have, making it difficult to find what we’re looking for. I think Apple should either bring back the previous version or update the app to make it more organized and user-friendly.
Thats what i thought in the beginning too! But after playing with it for some time i think i managed to make it even easier to use than before. If you scroll down you will see an edit button. There you can edit everything you see and rearrange them under the whole library. Remove anything that you don't want to make it more clean and you are good to go. Personally, i put utilities and media types at the top (which i use them mostly).

I think customization is really cool! The downside is, we are getting a rash of posts from people who can't find their Utilities section, or something, and don't realize that they've turned it off. Also, if I say, for instance, "Utilities is the section at the very bottom," well, it may not be true! So there are ups and downs-- sometimes more versatility causes more confusion. But people have been asking for this for ages!
Apple added a bunch of stuff I don't care about, like Trips, Recently [you name it], etc, which makes navigating through it all crazy! But they gave us the ability to turn it off (but not quite enough ability!) All in all, it seems pretty OK to me, and if I don't worry about it, it doesn't get in the way.
