Tips for Using the Photos App on iPhone and Android

Organizing Your Photos

• Create albums to group related photos together (e.g., vacations, family events).
• On iPhone, tap “Albums” > “+” to add a new album. On Android, use the “Albums” or “Folders” tab.
• Delete unwanted photos regularly to free up space.

Finding Photos Quickly

• Use the search feature to find photos by date, location, or even objects and people (if enabled).
• Mark favorite photos with a heart or star for quick access later.

Sharing Photos

• Select one or more photos and tap the share icon to send them via text, email, or social media.
• On iPhone, you can create shared albums to share with friends and family.
• On Android, use Google Photos to create shared albums or links.

Backing Up Your Photos

• Enable iCloud Photos (iPhone) or Google Photos backup (Android) to automatically save your photos to the cloud.
• Check your backup settings regularly to ensure your photos are safe.

Editing Photos

• Use built-in editing tools to crop, adjust lighting, or apply filters to your photos.
• Experiment with different edits—your original photo is usually saved, so you can always revert back.
