Published in Photos app organization 2 mins read

You can easily rearrange the order of photo collections displayed in the main view of your Photos app by accessing the customization options at the bottom of the screen.

Here's a simple guide based on the provided information:

Steps to Reorder Photo Collections

To change the sequence of collection sections like 'Recents', 'Favorites', and others in your Photos app's main view, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Photos app.
  2. Scroll down: Navigate all the way to the bottom of the main view within the app.
  3. Tap Customize and Reorder: Locate and tap the Customize and Reorder option found at the bottom. This action opens a dedicated menu for managing your collection views.
  4. Rearrange or Hide Collections: In this customization menu, you have two primary actions:
    • Hide Collections: To remove a collection from the main view, deselect the checkmark next to its name.
    • Reorder Collections: To change the position of a collection, tap and hold the three horizontal bars located next to the collection's name, then drag it up or down to your desired position.

Using these steps allows you to personalize the layout of your Photos app's main screen, putting your most frequently accessed collections at the top.

Note: This process described relates to rearranging the sections or collections within the main 'Photos' tab view, not necessarily individual photos within albums or the entire library.
