Adding a photo or multiple photos to an album on your iPhone is an excellent way to organize your images, making it easier for you to reminisce and share your favorite memories. Here are seven ways you can add photos to an album on your device.
1. The Photos App:
Open the Photos app and navigate to the photo or group of photos you’d like to add to an album. Tap ‘Select’ in the top right corner, choose the images you want, and click the ‘Add To’ button on the bottom of the screen. You’ll have the option to add selected photos to an existing album or create a new one.
2. Creating a new album:
Open the Photos app and tap on the ‘Albums’ tab. Scroll down and click on the ‘+’ icon in the top left corner, then choose ‘New Album.’ Name your new album and tap ‘Save.’ Now, you can easily add photos by clicking ‘Add Items’ and selecting images from any of your existing albums or folders.
3. From Live Photos:
To add a Live Photo (a photo with motion) to an album, follow steps 1 or 2 above, but ensure that you select a Live Photo from your collection.
4. Using Siri:
You can also ask Siri for assistance by saying “Create a new album in my Photos app” or “Add this photo to [album name].” However, using Siri requires that you have granted permission for Siri to access your photos.
5. Through Shared Albums:
If you have iCloud’s Shared Album feature enabled, find the photo(s) you want in a shared album, tap ‘Select,’ choose your photos, and click ‘Share.’ Select ‘Add To Album’ from the sharing options and choose your desired destination album.
6. From Messages or Mail:
If someone sends you a photo via iMessage or an email, you can save the image(s) to your photo library and then add them to an album. Press and hold the image, tap ‘Save,’ and follow steps 1 or 2 above to add the saved photo(s) to an album.
7. Third-Party Apps:
Some apps, like Google Photos, offer additional methods for organizing and adding photos to albums. Install a third-party app, follow the in-app instructions, and ensure that the app has access to your iPhone’s photo library.
Experiment with these seven methods for adding photos to albums on your iPhone until you find the one that works best for you. Happy organizing!
