The major revisions of iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 Photos App have caused confusion and dissatisfaction among users. Many users are used to sorting old photo apps. The new version is sorted by the creation time of film and video rather than dates, which leads to some problems. For example, if you receive photos shared via airdrop a week ago, these photos will be placed in an older time period and are difficult to find, rather than appearing at the bottom of the album as most users expect.
Fortunately, iOS 18 allows you to change the sort of photos to "Recently Added" instead of "Shot Date" (i.e. when you create it). A lot of complaints about the new photo app are solved with just a simple tweak.
How to sort photos by adding date instead of creating time in iOS 18
- Open the Photos app on your iPhone as usual.
- Scroll slightly upward at the bottom of the album to display the bidirectional arrow icon (sort button) in the lower left corner. This button will automatically display or hide based on where you are in the Photos App.
- Click the visible two-way arrow button and select "Sort by recent additions" so that any content you have recently saved, airdropped or added will appear at the bottom of the Photos App album.
You can return to the two-way arrow at any time and select Sort by shooting date to restore the default settings.
If you are not very satisfied with the redesign of the Photos App, we recommend that you use this toggle.
Apple also provides a video tutorial on this feature and some other sorting and filtering features in the newly designed Photos app. This video may be more helpful to some users. However, judging from user reviews on YouTube videos, many iPhone users are not satisfied with the redesign of the Photos App.
Has changing the sort of photos to "Recently Added" improved your experience with Photos App in iOS 18? Do you have other questions or complaints about the Photos App’s redesign on iPhone and iPad? Please share your thoughts and comments below!
