If you find yourself always scanning your photo library to select the photos you want to edit and share, we recommend creating “To Edit” and “Edited” folders in your albums. Take a mental inventory of the photos you gravitate towards taking, and then create your albums based on what makes sense from that. Some of our favorite ways to organize? By months, people, or events.
Once you’ve simplified your camera roll, create a series of albums under the “My Albums” section to categorize your photos. Short on time? Press the “select button” in the upper right corner to drag over multiple images to delete at once. Clean out any photos that don’t capture your attention or epitomize a moment. If you didn’t put a heart on the image originally, consider why you are keeping it around. Trust us - decluttering can only be achieved by getting rid of the images that are duplicates, blurry, or unnecessary screenshots. Set yourself up for success and make the delete button a good friend. Make sure you have 1-2 photos of each major event for recording’s sake, but don’t get tied up about each individual image. Only save the phots that you know you will want to return to. This will automatically filter them into your “favorites folder.” Pro tip: be decisive. Set aside time to press the heart on the bottom of the photos that are most significant. Let’s start with identifying the photos that mean the most to you.
