Identifying in iOS photo library which photos have previously been added to albums

When I look at my iOS photo library I cannot tell which photos have been added to an album. This can lead to wasted time looking back and forth, or trying to add a photo a second time. Is there another photo app that could help with this ?


iPad, iPadOS 17

You can add pictures to many different albums, so if it's already in an album, it is still available to be put into more albums. And you can check to see which albums it's in. Here I've opened the Info Window for a picture, and says "Included in 3 albums." When I click on that, is shows the names of the albums
