Whether you’re new to iOS, or just want to pick up some useful tips and tricks, we're here to help. This is iOS Advice.
Organizing your Camera Roll can be quite a task if you take a lot of pictures on your iOS device. Aside from
Shared Photo Streams, creating photo albums is one of the best ways to keep all of your photos organized in different categories.
Today, we’re going over some quick tips to help you get the most out of your pictures. The Photos app gives us the ability to create, rename, and move albums.

Renaming Photo Albums
Step 1: Launch the Photos app and tap on the “Edit” button in the top right corner of the screen.
Step 2: Tap on the album’s label to pull up the keyboard and rename the album. Press “Done” on the keyboard when you’re finished. On the iPad, this process is identical.
Moving Albums
Step 1: Tap on the “Edit” button in the top right corner of the screen.
Step 2: Use the bars on the right side of each row to rearrange the photo albums. Tap and hold on the bars, then drag the album to a different position in the list.
It’s also important to note that you can’t move any albums above the Camera Roll. If you’re using an iPad, you can skip step one and just tap, hold, and drag an album to move it.
Rearranging Album Photos
Step 1: Open an album on your device. Next, tap on the “Edit” button in the top right corner of the screen.
Step 2: Tap and hold on a photo, then drag it to any position in the album.
These may not be the most complicated tasks, but they are certainly helpful if you are looking to rearrange and manage your photo albums a little better.
