How-To

In this post, I’ll explain how you can contact Apple Support, if you experience issues relating to its products and services.

Keep in mind, depending on your locations, your support options and Apple warranties may be different.

This warranty offers hardware and software support. Most Apple devices provide a 90 day complimentary technical support warranty and an annual limited,
hardware warranty; unless you purchase extra warranties. You can extent your warranty up to a period of 2 years by buying
AppleCare+.
It’s also worth noting, these warranties are in addition to rights provided by consumer law which may differ from one country to another.

Basically, Apple offers two types of support. Also, you can contact apple in a number of ways. Find the available methods for
getting support below:
Software (iOS, macOS etc) and service support (iCloud, Apple Music, Apps etc):

  • Telephone support
  • Live chat support
  • Twitter support 
  • Community support (Apple user forums)
<li>Hardware repair and replacement support (components or parts of your device, keyboards, mouses etc):
  • Making Genius Bar Reservations
  • Taking your device to an Apple Certified Service Provider
  • Visiting an Apple Repair Center

1.Community Based Support

Apple has a support community and technical support forum. This forum provides answers through knowledge sharing. The forum is a nice place to get answers of issues you may be having with your device. Many Apple users submit questions and answers. It is very active. You can search other users posts or you can post your questions.

You don’t have to register or sign in to read the content. However, if you want to submit a question or an answer, you need to sign in. Sign in to Apple Support forums with your Apple ID. If you do not have an Apple ID, you can follow these steps to create one.
Here are the forums you can access:

  • Apple forums:
    https://discussions.apple.com/welcome
  • Apple forums sign in:
    https://discussions.apple.com/login
  • https://appleid.apple.com/account
    (create an Apple ID, if you do not have one, you must create one to participate)

2. Phone Support

Apple offers phone support as well. You can either get support by calling Apple or requesting Apple to call you.

  • You can call Apple for support. Before you make a call, ensure that you have your product’s serial number ready. You can check your serial number on the surface of your device. Or,
    on iOS devices or Apple Watch, go to Settings > General > About and on Mac go to  Apple menu (upper-left corner of your screen) > About This Mac > and
    then click the Overview tab. Here is the phone numbers:

    1. United States: 1-800-275-2273
    2. Canada (English): 1-800-263-3394; Canada (French): 1-800-263-3394
    3. You can view all phone numbers on
      Apple website
    4. You can start a support request to get a phone support. You only need to provide a phone number and Apple will call you. Note that you will need to
      Type in your device’s serial number. Just
      select a product
       and then select a topic and then select the phone support option. And even better, you can schedule a phone call so that an Apple support technician will give you a call
      at your own convenient time.

3. Apple Live Chat

There is also a live chat support. Live chat is a very handy option. Apple will email you the chat transcripts so that keep an archive of
your chats which may come in handy should you face the same issue again. Through this method, your questions will be answered instantly. Here are the instructions for how tochat with Apple support team online.

4. Genius Bar Appointments

If you are experiencing an hardware issue (for instance your device is unresponsive, your Mac  screen is broken, your phone’s power button is not working etc), you
can make a Genius Bar reservation.If your located far from an Apple Store, you can make an appointment at an Apple Authorized Service provider.This article explains how To Make A Genius Bar Reservation

Note: It may take up to nine days for your device to be fixed. You can easily check
the status of your repair online.
Also, you can follow your case online.

5. Mail Support 

If you are experiencing a hardware issue and don’t want to set up a reservation at an Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider; try this option. You just need to contact Apple
(you may choose any of the option listed in this article to contact Apple), request a box and  mail your device to an Apple Repair Center. This option is available
for most Apple products.

6. Twitter

You can ask any question via Twitter by simply tweeting your questions to
@AppleSupport.
Apple Twitter support works daily from 5am to 8pm (PT).

7. App Store, iTunes Store, and iBooks Store billing Support

In case you want Apple Store and iTunes billing supports (e.g., refunds etc), you can easily contact Apple. You only need to
choose your problem
 and select the support options available. It’s worth noting
you can easily cancel iTunes purchases and subscriptions.

What If Your Device Is Out Of Warranty

You can
Check your coverage online
 by simply typing in your device’s serial number. If you are out of warranty, still contact Apple. Keep in mind, you may be required to pay a service fee. So how much
will it cost? The following are Apple’s fees:

  1. iPhone service cost
  2. Apple displays service cost
  3. iPad service cost
  4. Mac service cost
  5. iPod service cost
  6. HomePod service cost
  7. AirPods service cost
  8. Apple Watch service cost
  9. Apple TV service cost

Before you contact Apple, try to restart your device to see if it resolves your issue. Also your problem may be temporary because some Apple servers might be down.
You may want to
visit Apple System Status page

Finally, this is not a support request per say, but you can also
send feedback to Apple.

Apple offers different ways to provide support for your products. One of them is live chat support. Live chat lets users use instant / live (real-time) messaging to contact Apple’s
support team through its website. You get quicker response via Apple’s live chat than emails.This is because most users prefer chat assistance to
emails and phone calls. You can schedule a chat with an Apple expert who specializes in your exact question.

It’s worth noting that if you need hands-on technical support for any of your Apple device, you can get expert advice at the Genius Bar. You
can
make a Genius bar reservation.

I think that the fastest and most convenient way to get support is through chat with Apple expert. Even better, Apple support chat is available 24×7.

Apple’s support team can provide you with an answer to any questions that you may have about Apple products, hardware (iPhone, iPad, etc), software (iOS, macOS, FaceTime, Pages,
etc) and services (
iCloud,
Apple Music,
iMessage,
etc.).

It’s worth noting that live chat is not available in all countries.

How to access Apple live chat support 

  1. Head over to Apple’s web site:
    https://www.apple.com.
  2. Tap Support.
  3. Tap Contact Support (top menu bar).
  4. Tap Talk to us. It may also read “Tell us how we can help”. Alternatively, you can directly access this page by clicking the
    getsupport.apple.com.
  5. Now select a product or service. For example, if you are having issues with your iPad, click iPad. Or if you are having an issue with your Apple
    ID, click
    Apple ID.
    Now choose the exact iPad issue you are having, like the battery, back-up, Apple ID, or Wi-Fi issues. There is also an option to search for topics.
  6. Now you will be asked a more specific problem that you are experiencing. If your problem is not in the list, choose the “the topic is not listed” option.
    If you select this option, you will be required to describe your problem in the next screen.
  7. Now, select how you prefer to get help. If you prefer the live chat option, simply select the “Chat”. The page will also tell you the approximate waiting period.
  8. Here, you need to either sign in with your Apple ID and password or enter your products serial or IMEI number. How do you find your serial number? it’s easy. For instance if you are experiencing a Mac issue, you can find your Mac’s serial number by simply heading over to Apple menu > About This Mac. Or if you are experiencing
    an issue with your iPhone or iPad, you can find the serial number by simply heading over to Settings > General > About.
    It may take a couple of minutes before you talk to an Apple expert. The next available agent will be with you to help you fix your problems. Once you are connected,
    a live chat representative will ask you to explain your problem, after you describe your issue, the representative will do everything possible to help you fix your issue.

I was able to fix most of my issues using the Apple chat option. However, in case you are not able to fix your requests, you can use other options. As I pointed out
above, Apple offers several ways which you can use to request and receive technical support. For example, you can call Apple support and visit anApple store. But
do not worry your problem will be fixed as Apple is committed to helping its customers.

Also, you can
send feedback to Apple
 (a suggestion or reporting a problem). Although Apple may not provide a response, Apple read every feedback they get. Your feedback will help Apple enhance your
Experience.

If the worst happen and you need to restore your iPhone, the simplest way to do so is through iTunes. In this article, we’ll explain how to restore an
iPhone via iTunes…

If your iPhone is not working properly, or if you’re getting ready to sell it, you’ll want to restore the device. But restoring your iPhone can mess up the device
if you don’t do things in the right way.

In this article, we’ll explain what an iPhone restore is, under which circumstance you might want to do a restore, and the steps to follow when you do so.

You will need toback-up your iPhone before getting started, and the best way to do that is via iCloud or iTunes. We’ve explained both options in detail below, so read on for instructions on how to backup and restore your iPhone…

What Restoring Your iPhone Does

Restoring your iPhone is the “nuclear” version of formatting your device back to factory default. A restore will erase everything from your iPhone–settings,
apps, the OS, as well as the firmware itself.
If you want the iPhone to appear the way it was when you first opened it from the box you need to restore it.

All the methods explained here work on iPad too. Another handy tip, especially if you’ve ever thought the following:

Is to make sure you have
Find Myconfigured on your iPhone or iPad.

Why You May Want To Restore Your iPhone

You want to restore your iPhone if you are planning to sell or giving it to someone, or you are having some issues with it. Always keep in mind to do a restore if you
are selling your iPhone.
Restoring your iPhone will remove everything on the device, wiping not only all your information but the existing OS and firmware from the device.

After a restore, the device will install the latest clean version of iOS.

How to Restore Your iPhone From iTunes

Restoring your iPhone can somehow be risky because if you do it wrong you can seriously mess up your device. However, it’s very rare to encounter such an issue.
What we are saying, most of the time people restore their iPhone without doing a backup first. Then when they go to restore their device, they
find they don’t have any of their data saved.

Another common issue is when people restore their iPhone without disassociating their Apple/iCloud ID from it first and then sell their device. If you don’t
disassociate your Apple/iCloud ID first, that iPhone will forever be locked to your Apple/iCloud ID, which means a future owner won’t have full access
over it.

Back-Up Your iPhone First!
The first, MOST ESSENTIAL step is toback up your iPhone BEFORE restoring it. So choose a backup method. You can do this via iCloud or iTunes.

How to backup iPhone to iCloud manually:

    The device. Backing up your iPhone regularly ensures that, should the worst happen, you’re 100% covered – and you can still retrieve all your most important
    information. While it may appear difficult, backing up an iPhone is actually very easy…

    How To Back Up iPhone

    iCloud offers only 5GB free storage, so you might need to upgrade your iCloud storage space 50GB costs $0.99 a month while 200GB costs $2.99
    a month.

    Method #2 How to Backup iPhone or iPad in Mac on MacOS Catalina

    Apple discontinued iTunes with the introduction ofMacOS Catalina. Thankfully, you can use finder to back up your iPhone or iPad to Catalina. Simply follow these steps:

    1. Build a connection between your iPhone and computer via USB cable and launch Finder.

    Method #3 How to back up your iPhone or iPad using iTunes on windows PC or Mac running MacOS Mojave or earlier

    Before the introduction of iCloud, Apple’s method for backing up iOS devices was iTunes. And in 2020 , it still works perfectly too.

    Moreover, your PC hand drive need to have enough space on your as well.

    Method #4 Google Photos Backup For ALL Your Images

    If you want to store all your photos somewhere, somewhere safe, Google Photos is your best bet, which can be downloaded for free on the App Store.

    After downloading the app, simply select it as a backup for all your iPhone’s photos and videos. This way, anytime you take photos they’ll be
    automatically uploaded to Google Photos, where you can access them any time and anywhere.

    You just need a Gmail account and a computer.

    Dropbox and OneDrive are also great options, but I especially like the way the Google Photos app looks and works.

    So you just bought a new iPhone or reset your old one back to factory default. That means, you probably want to get all the old data and settings you
    had on your phone up and running on your brand new or reset iPhone. And the most convenient way to do so is restoring your iPhone from a previous iCloud Backup. In this article I’ll explain how to restore iPhone from iCloud Backup in quick and easy steps.

    What Is An iCloud Backup?

    Basically, an iCloud backup is a duplicate of all the data, layouts, and other settings on your iPhone that is stored on Apple’s cloud service known as,iCloud.
    Here’s what is included on iCloud Backup:

    • App data
    • Images and videos saved on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch (unless you use iCloud Photos)
    • Apple Watch backups
    • iMessage, text (SMS), and MMS messages (unless you use Messages in iCloud)
    • Device settings
    • Visual Voicemail password (You’ll need the SIM card which was in use during backup)
    • Home screen and app arrangement
    • Purchase history from Apple services, such as your music, films, TV shows, apps, as well as books
    • Ringtones

    Having said that, there are a couple of stuff that are NOT included in an iCloud backup. These mostly include your data such as emails, Notes, Contacts, Calendars,
    And bookmarks if you are an iCloud user.

    This is because iCloud already stores this data on Apple’s servers separately from an iCloud backup, therefore, no need of including this data
    in the iCloud backup.

    Before Restoring An iPhone From iCloud

    Before you restore an iPhone from iCloud, you need to ensure you already have an iCloud backup of your iPhone.
    For this to happen you’ll need to have hadenabled iCloud backups on your iPhone beforehand.

    To set up your iPhone to back up to iCloud, simply follow these steps:

    1. Start the Settings app on your iPhone.
    2. Tap on your profile at the top of the display (this will be your name).
    3. On the next screen, select iCloud.
    4. Now scroll down and tap on iCloud Backup.
    5. On the Backup screen toggle the iCloud Backup switch to ON position.

    After performing the above steps, your iPhone will automatically back up to iCloud each day provided your iPhone is plugged to power and connected to a Wi-Fi network.
    This means, you’ll have a new iCloud backup with the most latest apps and settings each day.

    Therefore, when you restore from iCloud you’ll have your iPhone with the most lately used settings again.

    How To Restore An iPhone From iCloud

    OK, now that your iPhone’s data is backed up to iCloud, you are ready to restore your new or reset iPhone from iCloud. Here are step-by-step instructions for how to restore a current
    iPhone that you are already using:

    1. Launch the Settings app.
    2. Now, tap General.
    3. Next, tap Reset.
    4. Next on, tap ‘Erase All Content and Settings’.
      On the Apps & Data screen, choose Restore from iCloud Backup.
    5. Enter your Apple ID to sign in so your phone can access your iCloud backups.
      Go to ‘Choose backup’, then choose the backup you want from a list of available
      backups in iCloud.

    And here are the instructions for how to restore iCloud backup on new iPhone:

    1. Switch on your new iPhone.
    2. From the Apps & Data screen, choose Restore from iCloud Backup.
    3. Enter your Apple ID to sign in so your phone can access your iCloud backups.
      Go to ‘Choose backup’, then choose the backup you want from a list of available
      backups in iCloud.

    After you’ve followed the above given steps, your iPhone will begin restoring from iCloud. It’s worth noting however, restoring from iCloud can take a while depending
    on the size of your iPhone backup. If your iPhone backup is quite a lot of gigabytes, it could take an hour or so.

    It’s always a good idea to back up your iPhone or iPad. In today’s day and age, our most important data is probably stored on our smartphones. Phones
    Store our photos, messages, contacts, etc.
    The good news is that if you have an iPhone, Apple offers an easy way to constantly keep your iPhone backed up to the company’s cloud service, called iCloud. In this article,
    I’ll explain everything you need to know aboutHow to back up your iPhone to iCloud

    So, what Is An iPhone iCloud Backup?

    Just like other tech companies out there, Apple has a host of cloud services that you can take advantage of. Apple has named its cloud services “iCloud”. Apple’siCloud
    services has numerous features, including ad-free email, bookmark syncing, online file store, etc. But the most important
    iCloud feature is the iPhone backup.

    The iPhone’s iCloud backup feature lets users create a copy of their iPhone’s data and store it on Apple’s cloud. This copy of your data allows you to
    easily retrieve all of your data
    in the event you ever want to reset or restore your iPhone.

    Your iPhone iCloud backup also simplifies the process of transferring all your data from one iPhone to another. When you purchase a new iPhone, you only need
    to log into your iCloud account on it and the new iPhone will start fetching data from your iCloud backup and putting it on your new iPhone.

    What Is Stored In An iCloud Backup?

    Your iCloud iPhone backup doesn’t store all the data you have on your iPhone – just the most essential bits. Here’s
    everything Apple says gets included
    in your iPhone iCloud backup:

    • App data
    • Apple Watch backups
    • iPhone settings
    • Home screen and app layout
    • iMessage, text (SMS) and MMS messages
    • Purchase history from Apple services, such as your music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
    • Ringtones
    • Photos and videos on your iPhone
    • Visual Voicemail password (requires the SIM card that was in use during backup)

    You may notice that things such as emails and contacts aren’t included in the above list. That’s because emails and contacts are already stored online through
    your email provider (which could be iCloud, or another service such as Gmail). Because they’re already stored online, there’s no need for them to be stored
    in your iCloud backup.

    How Do I Backup My iPhone To iCloud?

    Fortunately, it’s easy to back up iPhone data to iCloud. You just require3 things:

    • An iPhone
    • An iCloud account
    • Wi-Fi internet connection

    The purpose of having an iPhone is quite straight forward (it’s what you’re backing up to iCloud). As for an iCloud account, you’ll have one if you own an iPhone. Your
    iCloud account is associated with your Apple ID. Lastly, you’ll need a Wi-Fi internet connection to back up your iPhone to iCloud.

    Got all that? Perfect. Here’s how you back up iPhone data to iCloud:

    1. . Connect your iPhone to your Wi-Fi network.
    2. Launch the Settings app on your iPhone.
    3. Tap on your profile at the top of the iPhone’s Settings app.
    4. Tap on iCloud.
    5. Tap on iCloud Backup.
    6. On the “Backup” screen, toggle the iCloud Backup switch to ON position
    7. A “Back Up Now” button will appear. Tap it.

    After you tap the “Back Up Now” button, your iPhone will perform its first backup to iCloud. Note, this could take some time depending on the amount of data on
    your iPhone. And if you’re iCloud backup is just taking way too long, we recommend that you
    free up some storage space on the iPhone.

    But the good thing is after this first backup, you won’t need to manually backup your iPhone to iCloud. Your iPhone will automatically back up your iPhone
    to iCloud daily as long as you’ve followed the above given steps and your iPhone is plugged to power source and connected to Wi-Fi network and the screen is
    locked.

    All of the above happens when we plug our iPhone to power before we go to bed to sleep, meaning your iPhone will do daily backups to iCloud
    as you sleep.

    By default there is no way to clear cache on your iPhone. Android devices offers a direct method but the story is different on iOS, and in most cases, there is no need to clear cache.

    Every now and then though similar to Android, Apps start acting up and they need to have the data they built up or cache cleared on iPhone.

    In this guide, I’ll explain how to clear cache on anyiPhone.

    Why clear cache on iPhone apps

    This is particularly useful if an App on your iPhone is not working properly. It could be also that a app is crashing or malfunctioning in some way.

    The main problem in these cases is built up data or cache which needs to be cleared.

    How to Clear Cache iOS?

    • Head over to settings,General and then iPhone storage. Scroll down and check all apps on your phone. Tap on an App that’s having issues and notice the App Size which is the installer and theDocuments & Data which is basically the Cache of the App.
      The cache usually builds up over time and the only way to clear it would be to delete the App and install in afresh which will reset everything and so clear the cache.
      So just delete and then reboot and head over to the app store and download the app again and you’ll be ready to go.
    • Some Apps also includes an option to clear the cache build in. For instance, in TikTok, simply open the App and navigate to your profile > settings and scroll to the bottom and tap Clear cache.
      To clear cache on Safari browser, simply head over to settings > Safari and Clear History and website Data.

    And that covers everything on how to clear app cache on iPhone and is the only way to do so, well until Apple ads a dedicated cache feature if they find it necessary.

    Now take time to share this guide with a friend to teach them how to clear app cache on iOS. Also comment below and check our other articles we have plenty of them for you.

    By the same token, we shall show you how you can track the location of your iPhone even if the battery has died or it is no longer connecting to the internet. Thanks to a new feature in iOS 13, it’s now possible

    Here is the step-by-step guide that will show you how to find a lost iPhone, iPad, or Mac by using the FindMy app from an iPhone or iPad.
    Before we dive into how to use Find My, however, you’ll need to set it up.

    How to Enable “Find My” on Mac, iPhone, iPad

    If you don’t have access to this feature or you have no devices showing up, there is a likelihood you don’t have the Find My feature enabled on the other device with the same Apple ID, whether that’s a Mac, iPhone, or iPad.

    For you to use Find My to track a lost iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you need to have your device set up to use the service. That may appear obvious after the fact, however, ensure you
    have this setting in place on your Apple device in advance so that you can use the Find My app in case you lose it.

    Enabling “Find My Mac”

    4. Confirm that you want to enable Find My Mac.
      You are all set. When you sign into
      iCloud.com
      on another computer or use the Find My app on your iPhone or iPad, you’ll be able to locate and erase your lost or stolen Mac, provided that it’s turned on and
      connected to the internet. Remember to sign in with the same Apple ID that’s in use on your missing Mac.

      Enabling “Find My iPhone” or “Find My iPad”

      Follow these steps to enable Find My iPhone or Find My iPad on iOS or ipadOS:

      3. Tap “Find My.”
      4. Slide the switch next to “Find My iPhone” to ”On” position.

      You are all set! When you sign into
      iCloud.com
      on another computer or use the Find My app on another iPhone or iPad, you’ll be able to track and erase your lost device, provided that it’s turned on and
      connected to the internet. Keep in mind to sign in with the same Apple ID that’s in use on your missing iPhone or iPad.

      How to track a stolen iPhone, iPad or Mac with Find My

      Its easy to track a lost Apple Device from iPhone or iPad with Find My.
      Every iPhone or iPad comes with the Find My app pre-installed, so you don’t have to download any app to track lost iPhone, iPad or Mac.

      The app works the same way both on iPhone and iPad, with the steps similar between both devices. The only difference is that the iPad has a larger display. Simply follow these steps to track a stolen or lost iPhone, iPad, or Mac using Find My app on iOS or iPadOS.

      1. Start the “Find My” appp on your iPhone or iPad.
      2. Now, log in with your Apple ID and password if you are not yet already
      3. Next, tap your iPhone, iPad or MacBook in the list of devices.
      4. If a location is displayed on the map, it’s found your device.
      5. Next on, Tap your iPhone, iPad or MacBook in the centre of the screen. A couple of options will appear on this screen.
    • Play Sound – This forces your device to play an audible sound. This is useful in case you think the device is nearby, as you’ll be able to hear it.
    • Directions – This gives directions from your current location to the last place the device appeared
      online.
    • Mark as Lost – This marks a device as lost. The device will be locked and you can provide contact information that will be displayed when the device
      is found.
    • Erase this Device – This will completely wipe the entire content on a lost device. This should only be done as a last resort when you are pretty sure you will not recover it.
    • Notifications – You can have Find My notify you when a lost iPhone has been found.

    How to lock and erase your iPhone, iPad or MacBook if it’s stolen

    As we’ve mentioned above, provided you’ve enabled Find My iPhone, Find My iPad or Find My Mac and your device is connected to the internet after it’s stolen, you can log into Find My app on an iPhone or iPad,
    and use the Erase or Lock buttons to remotely erase data or lock the thief out of your iPhone, iPad or MacBook.

    How do I track my iPhone or iPad if it’s offline?

    If your iPhone is offline, then the Find My app will locate the iPhone’s current position using nearby Apple devices.
    Here is how
    Apple
    describes it:
    “Locate a missing device even if it’s not connected to WiFi or cellular using crowdsourced location. When you mark your device as missing and another
    Apple user’s device is nearby, it can detect your device’s Bluetooth signal and report its location to you. It’s completely anonymous and encrypted endtoend,
    so everyone’s privacy is protected.”
    If you are running iOS 13 for iPhone or iPadOS 13, just follow these steps to enable the feature:

    1. Start the Settings app and tap your name on top of the screen.
    2. Next, tap “Find My.”
    3. Tap “Find My iPhone.” ,
    4. Toggle on “Enable Offline Finding”.

    As you can see there are multiple options available to find the lost device; you can play a sound, find directions to the last known location of the device,
    mark it as lost, erase it (do this only when you are pretty sure you will never locate the device), and set some other options too.

    If you choose to mark your device as lost, the device will automatically activate the lock once it receives the lock command. if you opted to display a message, that message will appear on the screen of your lost iPhone . The device will then ask you to enter the passcode to unlock it. Once you’ve entered the correct passcode, the iPhone will unlock normally.

    The final option is Erase this device. As you might expect, this feature lets you completely erase—securely—all data and settings from your iPhone, iPad or Mac.
    You should only use the Erase this device option when you are sure you will never recover it.

    An email will be sent to the address on file for your Apple ID when you perform any of these actions.

    No one would be happy when they lose their device however, if you have Find My set up on the
    iPhone,
    iPad,
    or
    Mac
    that got lost there are higher chances that you will be able to locate it, which is why this is such a nifty feature and service.

    The steps outline above covers the iPhone and iPad, however, you could still perform
    the same process on Mac,
    as well.

    How to track lost iPhone, iPad, or Mac? Now you know.

    4. Next on, tap on Select and choose the photos you wish to move to an album.
    5. Tap the share button.
    6. Tap on Add to Album.
      To add to an existing album: Tap on an album under My Albums.
      To create and add to a new album: Tap New Album > give it a name > Save.

    You have successfully moved Photos from Camera Roll to album on iPhone.

    Now, tap twice on Albums from the bottom row. Swipe right to left or tap See All to reveal all albums and photos inside them.
