Unable to rearrange photo albums on iPhone 14 after iOS update

Since my latest update on my iPhone 14, I am not able to edit my photo albums and arrange them the way I would like.

I used to be able to do that.

I can arrange the photos within the album, but I can’t rearrange the actual albums in the order I would like.

Note the picture I posted earlier-- there's no use of any other buttons. I just used a long-press on an album, and it moved as I described.


If that doesn't work for you, then try a forced restart:

Force restart iPhone - Apple Support

This is different from a simple Power Off. Keep pressing until the apple logo appears.

I can not move albums on iphone 11 running OS 17.7.1. I used to do it all the time. Now - all the other albums go blurry, the album I'm selecting gets big, I get a menu that does not include Move Album (as some websites say) or a Customize and Reorder option at bottom ( which some websites say, but I think this is an IOS 18 thing), but it will not move. It is stuck in spot. So - I seem to be stuck with this order. My guess is that this piece got lost as they prepared for new reorder process in IOS 18. But - it's really annoying.
