I really hope someone can help me with this cause I’ve had no luck so far. So every time I get a new phone I add all the previous phones photos to the new phone in a new album. I create a new album because that album and those photos will never be touched again. I will view them and I may delete photos if I come across something I want deleted, but I will never add to them. I want this album and all the photos within that album completely separate to all the new photos i take on the new phone which in this case is the iPhone X.
Here’s my problem:
In 2012 I had an iphone 4s. In 2014 an iphone 5 and between 2015-2016 I had an iphone 6. In 2013 and 2017 I had an android and now in 2018 another iphone. On my mac in the photos app sit all the iphone photos from 2012-2016 . 2013 and 2017 android photos sit on the sd card. The problem is, when I sync my new iphone x to the mac, all the old photos for a period of 4 years sync to my new phone, which would be fine except they don’t sync to a new album, they sync to the current gallery, so every time I take a new photo and go into my gallery, it is mixed in with photos from up to 4 years ago. There are 10,000 photos so lets say I want to go half way, I have to scroll through 5000 photos. I want to separate all photos taken on the iphone x form every other photo prior to December 30 2017. I still want those photos on the phone, just not in the same place as the new ones. Here’s one example of an issue with this. Since I bought the X I have taken 1 selfie. Now iphone automatically creates a selfie album and really it should only include 1 photo in that album, but because photos form 2012, 14, 15 and 16 also also in the same gallery, the selfie album has 524 photos
If this was an android, I could plug in the phone to a pc, create a new folder in the DCIM folder and transfer all the old iphone photos plus the galaxy s7 photos from the SD card I took last year into that folder and they would be separate from new photos, but because iphone doesn’t work that way, I now have photos from 2 days ago sitting next to a photos I took 18 months ago and up to 4 years ago.
Simply put, I want to separate all new photos taken on the X from other photos. Ideally I would like to create albums titled: Iphone 4s,HTC, iphone 5, Iphone 6 and s7 and only view the photos taken on those phones from those albums and not add to those albums whereas now they all sit in the same gallery. I’d still like to keep those photo on the mac though if possible.
I was able to do this on the s7 but I’ve spent the past few days trying to figure out how to do it on an iphone so I hope you guys can help.
