Hate the iOS 18 Photos App? Here's How to FIX It!

[@BarryMaskell]

I think a windows user was appointed to undertake the redesign

😂

[@Aether-Entropy]

No amount of customization will bring back the simplicity of having tabs at the bottom to quickly access what you need.

Dude legit said former glory, confirming this new photos app is trash.. never coming back? If they were smart they’d revert it back so they don’t lose customers

How do u add photos to album and then delete from gallery and keep photo in album

[@alexanderfazel]

I don’t hate it! I didn’t like the carousel which they removed before iOS 18 got out of beta. I love the customizability and I think the whole thing is superior to what it was in iOS 17. People just need something to complain about, right after they complained about nothing being new or wanting redesigns.

Thank you so much. I unchecked all my unwanted categories.

[@chuckkeyser5586]

Thanks! I love your products and we will be ordering new shades for our new to us 2016 Monaco Diplomat 43DF.

App looks nicer but its unpractical. First day I hated it because I didnt know why my ss didnt show up

[@DavidDatura]

I didn’t upgrade to iOS 18 until I absolutely had to, just because of all the changes to the Photos app. But I’ve gotten used to it now, it isn’t as bad as I was expecting.

[@Rockybalboa541]

The new photos app is terrible. Whoever changed is should be fired

[@ptwlkr]

I have zero problem with it once I learned a few ways to navigate and organise. In fact, I use more features now than I ever did in the old photos app. Biggest tip; is to use the ‘All’ button to get back to zero/base point at any time. Once I knew that, I was pretty right.

[@johnjerrigo567]

You had forgotten about the picture view, how you can zoom in or out on the gallery and not have the pictures so small and tight.

I had about passed pissed iff for simple stuff ..I wanted o show someone a photo of a cat I had rescued 8 years ago but recently passed. Wanted to show a lady at store. Hoshe had grown into a beautiful gurl. Good luck with that…and I KNOW we do thst’ and doggos and kids. lol.

One of the things I have loved in the past with Apple IOS updates was that if you wanted all the applications to work the same way as before you do not have to do anything. If you wanted all the features the women's fashion reviewers who have moved over to technology wanted you could go into the options sections and play with the knobs. With IOS 18.x update Apple has thrown the baby out with the bathwater. With Apple IOS 18.X being so "F'd" up might have to move away from Apple garden which in the past served me well with KISS operation. Now I have to learn with 18.x new ways of doing things so it is no longer KISS for me. You would think Apple was Microsoft always wanting to change the way things work. Who knows what they're gonna change next. This normal is going to be looking for third party solutions.

[@BrentSmithline]

My suggestion is quit changing everything. Going to have to see if there's a third-party application that will let me use my photos and videos the way I want to. I was OK with the old way that the photo application worked. I guess engineers have to keep their jobs. That's why they keep on changing things just to mess with us. I was used to the way it worked previously and as an old person, I do not like to have to relearn everything just because someone thought they had a better way of doing something.

I don’t understand why people hate the new photos app. Before people had no idea what all cool functionality the photos app had. So Apple moved it all onto one screen and it’s all editable, you can move everything exactly as you want. I thinks that’s a good thing. So stop complaining. It’s not too bad at all.

[@mavfan1]

First you say you don’t understand then you tell them to stop complaining. Are you really unaware of how the internet works? Do you really think that’ll work? 😂

[@Forestdweller9083]

As someone who uses albums for my work and has over 1,000 albums.. it’s pretty awful that albums no longer populate during a “search” for said album title. So yeah for photographs it’s pretty crappy

[@fluxezz2095]

People do too much lol 😂I think it’s fine

[@mikes7070]

I was hesitant but once I started using it i found I immediately liked it.

[@graphguy]

the ios photo change sucks

[@RandomBogey]

I hate it so much. Just when I think I do get it, the next time I open it, it’s all fubar…

[@imi1741]

No one can fix this foto app
