Photo “Albums” disappeared after updating to IOS 18

Yes, a terrible update. But, if you remembrer the name of your folder, you can search for it.

For me- grouping pictures by date when browsing in map was very usefull.

Used it to fill my farms field history later by fields. Now all pictures are together…

Exactly

why have a photo section if it is now totally useless!

I want to be able to have a folder on my screen that says Photos with the subfolders that I originally set up. It’s so darn frustrating now.

I too thought my albums were gone and spent a day looking for them but they are still there. Follow the instructions below (thanks Lori_999) and make sure the albums are on and turn off all the other options that you don’t want and albums returns where you can find them

Open your Photos App

scroll down to the bottom and click on Customize & Reorder

Make sure Albums is checked.

I also unchecked a bunch of stuff I didn't need, which helped a lot!

Try selecting the “X” next to “Years Months All.” It will minimize the library of photos and display Albums, People, Pinned Collections, etc.

What do I have to do to see your response? This was my experience as well and I want a response! Please.

Any way to sort what remaining albums you can find alphabetically, or any other configuration? Any way to physically MOVE an album or photo to another position?

THIS IS HORRID!

Same. I have albums missing, nowhere to be found and no, the pictures aren’t all back in my library. I’m devastated. Pregnancy, baby, wedding albums all gone

I used to type the photo Album name in search and that took me directly to the Album I wanted. But Now I have Scroll & scroll ? BS

Please please give us the option to go back to how photos were before this disaster known as last update took place. I’m ready to dump Apple after being a loyal customer for years!

Lost albums and pictures: Everything older than August 2024 is gone. I just looked at the phone memory through the pc and sync cable. I see nothing older.

Under “Albums” it says “no albums available” and there is a “create” button. No right arrow. The albums are gone. How do I go back to iOS 17?

Where is a response from Apple??
