How to Create a Folder
Folders are another way to organize your images in your Photos app, but they are different than albums. You cannot add individual photos to a folder. You can only add existing albums and other folders. Then you can then add individual pictures to these albums within the folders. For example, you might create a folder of events. Then within that folder, you’d create albums for each event or create sub-folders and further albums in those sub-folders for even more specific cataloging.
How you create a folder in the Photos app:
-
Open the Photos app.
-
Go to Albums.
-
In the top-left corner, press the plus (+) icon.
-
Tap New Folder.
-
Name the folder and press Save.
Voila! You’ve created a new folder.
Add an Album to a Folder
Let’s say you’d like to create an album or a subfolder inside a folder. The steps are almost the same as creating a folder, except you need to be inside that folder.
Here’s how:
-
Open the folder you want to add a new album or folder to.
-
In the top-right corner, press Edit.
-
Tap on the plus (+) sign.
-
Select New Album or New Folder, depending on which one you’d like to create.
-
Name the folder or album and press Save.
You can now add photos to the new album or sub-folder.
