Photos is organized into Library, For You, Albums, and Search. When you turn on iCloud Photos, your collection is kept up to date across your devices. And with the advanced search features, you can easily find photos based on a person, place, object, or event.

Before you begin

• Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to the latest version of iOS or iPadOS.
• Set up iCloud on all your devices.
• Make sure that you’re signed in with the same Apple ID.

Library

Enjoy a curated view of your moments in the Library tab, then browse by years, months, days, or all photos. You'll also see Live Photos and videos come to life as you scroll and browse.

• Years: View your entire library of photos and videos that you've taken each year. Then swipe to scan the highlights.
• Months: See groups of photos and videos taken during each month by memories and locations. Tap the More button to share or play a movie created from your moments.
• Days: Browse photos of the day and watch some of your videos automatically play as you scroll. Tap a photo and swipe up to see its location on a map and the people in it.
• All Photos: See your complete photo library including screenshots and duplicate photos in the order they were taken.

With iOS 14, you can filter what gets displayed, so it's easier to browse through your Library. For example, you can choose to show only photos or only videos. To filter what you see:

Live Photos and videos won't autoplay in Photos when Low Power Mode is enabled.

In the Albums tab, you find the albums that you’ve created, shared albums that you've created or joined, and collections of different types of photos and videos, like Selfies, Portrait, and Slo-mo.
