Hi crad82,

Welcome to the Apple Community


Wondering which iOS version you have installed on your iPhone 12 Pro.

Re: Can you add existing photo albums to newly developed photo folders


Seems this is not directly possible ... however there is always a way !


See this article from Apple Support (link below) for tips:

Edit and organize Photo albums on iPhone

*** Seems you can add folders of photo albums, within an existing folder


NB: Except: the Photo albums that Photos creates for you, such as Recents, People, Memories, and Places etc.stay as is.

(The photos in them exist in the Library, and are "reflected" or "synced" in these albums.)


Apple's article: Edit and organize albums on iPhone

(NB: This is for iOS 15 ... or, if needed, change iOS at the top of the page that opens from the link, for accurate info.)

Or

Seems one way to achieve the old album in to existing folder may be:

Create a new Photo album in the existing folder you created.

select all the photos in the old photo album

and

add them to the new album that is already in that existing folder


Seems Photo albums may be easier to work with if you have access to a Mac!


Another article that may or may not be useful.

Make photo albums on iPhone (again iOS 15, unless you change iOS version)

All the best :-)
