If you’re someone who loves take pictures, or even if you are someone who simply treasures the photos you share received, then it shouldn’t be so difficult to locate certain pictures within any ground of information. Then, the photo you want is buried deep, and it’s often months back. Which is where mobile photo albums come in to make it easy for you to organize, and quickly find your photos.
Here’s a quick guide to get you sorting through your photos, making custom albums and decluttering your gallery in minutes.
1. Create Custom Album on Mobile
By creating custom albums, you can organize your phone’s photos by theme or event on most phones. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide for Android devices:
- Open your Gallery app.
- Scroll down a bit and press the Albums button at the bottom of the screen.
- Click on the “+” sign to create a new album.
- You name your album, like “Vacations,” “Pets.”
- Then upload photos you’d like to add.
After you’ve created it, you can add more photos to the same album as needed anytime — you don’t have to put them all down at once.
2. Create Albums from Individual Photos
It also allows you to create an album directly within specific photo you’re opening. Here’s how:
- Open that photo in your gallery.
- Go ahead, tap the three dots in the bottom corner.
- Select “Add to album.”
- Pick an album to create a new album or add to an existing album.
- If you’d like, name your album and add other photos.
With this option, you can save photos together in album as soon as you save them, when you don’t want to wait to save photos, but only when these photos are similar.
3. Keep Your Albums Organized
It’s great to create albums, but keeping them organized is what’s important. Here are two tips to prevent clutter and make future searches easier:
- Categorize and Rearrange: Albums, keep them up to date, review albums and categorize photos you want to keep close and make new albums if needed.
- Delete Unnecessary Photos: Unwanted files such as screenshots or group messages, etc can be removed. The Free up space button in your gallery settings can help save you some time automating this.
4. Customize and Manage Albums
Creating albums isn’t the only way to keep your gallery organized. Here’s how you can personalize your albums:
- Get rid of albums you don’t need anymore.
- Albums can be renamed easier for searching purposes.
- Show only albums you want to see, or hide albums for extra privacy or indeed just for focusing on what you use.
- Instead of making them harder to reach with Music, better put them in a separate section, e.g. “Other albums.”
Using tips like these will help you find your photos — and keep your gallery clean, tidy and clutter-free for new memories.
These easy steps will make you discover that it takes a quick few steps for photos organization and your favorite moments will be further than a tap away from you.
