The Photos App Interface

Generally, the photos app is divided into four sections. These are Library, Albums, For You, and Search. Each section performs a separate task and can be used differently.

Library: The library is where all iPhone photos get organized. The organization is usually done in a sequence starting with years, followed by months, and finally days. In fact, the library gives you more options and functions and you can easily filter the photos by tapping the Filters button and selecting an option.

For You: Here, some of the best moments and memories of you are displayed. It uses Artificial Intelligence to search through your photos and videos without ignoring duplicates so as to create a memory for you.

You can therefore do so much on the photo’s app interface including filter the photos, organize them and many more actions. Even if you want to search for some of your best photos, you can easily do that from the photos app.

If you however feel that you do not want to use the photos app, you can still use the photo recovery app, Disk Drill to declutter or organize the photo’s app. Disk Drill is one of the best iPhone cleaner apps and will also help you if you need to recover accidentally removed photos. Just download and install the app, then use it to scan the storage for lost photos.

Choose the right album for the photos or create a new album by choosing “New Album”
Choose a new album to add the photos

For bulk photos, follow the steps below:

Open the Photos app.
Click the “select” icon appearing in the top right corner.
Click the Photos that you want to add to the album one by one until a blue tick appears next to all of them.
Tap the three-dot icon available at the bottom right corner. This will reveal the menu of options.
Chit the ”Add to Album.”
Choose the new location where the photos should be directed to. Select the album where you need your photos to be added or create a new one.

Duplicate photos may be bad but a blessing to many depending on circumstances. For instance, it really saves the situation where a duplicate photo would help you with making a decision of which one is the best. It gives you more options to select only the best.

But unwanted photos and duplicates can jam up your phone and make it really clumsy. This is why you may need to remove duplicates. Some of the duplicate files can also be very large and space hungry. Removing them will make your phone faster and improve your user experience.

Luckily, you got access to many apps that can be used to remove duplicates from iPhones. The apps make use of the photo analyzing software so that they can dig through the photo library to gather duplicates.
