Navigate the New iOS 18 Photos App Like a Pro: Step-by-Step Guide
If you’re confused or wanting to learn about the new updates in the Photos app on your iPhone with iOS 18, you’re in the right place. In this guide, I’ll walk you through all the new features and changes that Apple has introduced. Whether you’re an experienced iPhone user or just getting started, you’ll find these tips helpful in organizing and enjoying your photos. ?
Redesigned Interface ?
One of the biggest changes you’ll notice is the redesigned interface. Gone is the familiar tab bar at the bottom. Instead, you’ll navigate through the app by swiping up and down. This might take a bit of getting used to, but I’ve found it to be quite intuitive once you get the hang of it.
Navigating the New Collections ?
When you open the Photos app, you’ll see a list of your most recent photos. To access different collections, simply swipe up:
- Recent Days: A new collection that shows photos from the last few days.
- Albums and People: Scroll further to find your albums and photos sorted by people.
- Memories, Trips, and Featured Photos: Keep swiping to see collections such as Memories, Trips, and Featured Photos.
- Utilities and Media Types: At the very bottom, you’ll find utilities and media types, including shared albums and wallpaper selections.
Customizing Your Collections ✨
One of the standout features is the ability to customize and reorder your collections. If you use Shared Albums frequently, you can move them to the top for easy access. Just swipe to the bottom and tap on “Customize and Reorder.” From here, you can drag collections into your preferred order or hide the ones you don’t use.
Accessing and Filtering Your Library ?
To access your entire photo library, swipe down a bit, and you’ll see a new tab bar appear at the bottom:
- Filter Options: You can filter your photos by favorites, edited photos, videos, or screenshots.
- Sort Options: Sort your photos by recently added or date captured.
- View Options: Hide or show certain types of photos, like screenshots or shared items, to keep your library clean and organized.
Using Apple Intelligence for Memories and Cleanup ??
Apple has introduced some powerful tools with Apple Intelligence:
- Memory Movies: Create custom memory movies by simply selecting a theme. Apple Intelligence will automatically compile photos and videos to create a beautiful memory movie.
- Cleanup Tool: Easily remove unwanted objects or people from your photos. Just tap the “Edit” button, then select “Cleanup.” The app will analyze the photo and allow you to tap on items you want to remove.
Checking iCloud Sync Status and Other Settings ⚙️
Finally, Apple has moved the iCloud Sync status and other settings under your profile image at the top right of the Photos app. Here, you can check your sync status, manage shared libraries, and adjust various settings to suit your preferences.
Conclusion
With these exciting updates, the Photos app on iOS 18 offers a more streamlined and customizable experience. I encourage you to explore these new features and make the app your own. If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out or leave a comment. Happy photo organizing!
