Cannot locate my Albums in Photos. HELP!
iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 18
Yeah, it changed a bunch. There is no longer separate Library, Albums, etc, windows to select at the bottom. Now when you open Photos in iOS 18, you get everything all a once. (good movie) The top half is the Library, and the bottom has Recent Days and then Albums, People&Pets, Pinned collections like Map and Recent, Memories, and so on. You just Scroll up and down to find Albums.
You can tap on Albums to get a screen that has only albums in their folders. I just discovered that!
Does this work?
Unfortunately you have misunderstood the problem. “Folders” have disappeared along with all the photos that were in them. They have been replaced by “Albums” which, in my case, only have a handful of photos in them.
I have tried all the fixes suggested here but to no avail.
I agree. Horrible update for Photos on iPhone. Can still save to albums, but cannot SEE the albums. Very strange that the IOS18 update for my iPad did NOT do this - it's the same as it ever was. Extremely disappointed with Apple and searching for unafiliated apps to take Apple's Photo app's place, which is, in many ways, now UNUSABLE. I couldn't hate this result of an IOS update on my iPhone more.
THAT'S THE POINT. "Albums" DOES NOT APPEAR ANYWHERE in the Photos app anymore. There is no scrolling, AT ALL, below the photos display, just the link inviting "...reordering". The iPad version, on the other hand, works PRECISELY THE WAY IT USED TO. F Apple.
This is the worst update ever. My pictures are a hot mess. Please give us the option to go back to the old format!!!! I am so upset right now. Who does your research before hurting the masses?
No! Those are the albums from my MacBook- VERY Different from the ones I had in my phone! Any ideas?
Nope - I am missing at least 6 albums that were there before the update. Tried everything I could find on line - nada. I am beside myself!
All of my photo albums have disappeared after Ios 18 install. Very annoying as about to move house and have saved sll my room schemes in albums. Disappointed to say the least!
Thank you!!! Panic over!
this was super helpful thank you!!
Except you can’t move the library and my phone pictures have all been reorganized and mixed in with photos from my pc. I spent hours organizing them how I wanted them and it’s all gone.
Ugh me too. I tried everything. So, happened I haven’t updated my old iPhone . It still has all the albums intact. Of all things that could have been updated . Like, why the photo album 😫🥺😩
How do you make a post on here without just replying? I joined so I could also complain about the photos update… super infuriating
Photo “Albums” disappeared after updating to IOS 18 and are not there. It is written No Albums Available
This helped! My albums were there!!
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…
