In this article, I’ll explain how to move photos from camera roll to album on iPhone.
Camera Roll in the Photos app contains all the pictures and videos in one place. It is sorted by date. However, to keep your photos organized, you might need to add them to respective albums. For this, you can move photos from Camera Roll to an album on iPhone. Once you do that, you will have all images and videos of an event in one place. So, if you want to put photos into albums on iPhone, there are simple steps which you need to follow.
Here are step-by-step instructions for how to move pictures from camera roll to album on iPhone in iOS 15.
How to Move photos from Camera Roll to Album on iPhone in iOS 15
Before we dive into it, it’s worth noting that In iOS 15, you will not see an album named Camera Roll. If you use iCloud Photos, it is called ‘All Photos.’ If you do not use iCloud Photos, then you will see ‘Recents’ where Camera Roll used to be before iOS 15.
with that in mind, here are the steps for adding photos to albums on iphone:
- Start the Photos app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Now, select the Albums tab at the bottom of the screen
- Next, tap on either See All or Recents.
- Next on, tap on Select and choose the photos you wish to move to an album.
- Tap the share button.
- 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.
To remove photos from an album: Open the album, select the photos, tap the delete icon in the bottom right and finally tap Remove from Album. Read also: How to Delete Photo Albums on iPhone & iPad? Know Steps

This does not work, it does not move the back photos but simply makes a copy to the album.
Katie says
Yeah, and worse, I tried to delete from camera roll after moving to the other album and it deleted in both places. So it’s not even a real “copy.” :/ I was hoping to clean up and organize my camera roll.
Adrian says
yeah that’s easy, but how do you permanently move photos from the film roll to JUST the album, and not in both places at once. I don’t want some photos on the film roll but JUST in the album. Doesn’t seem possible.

1) Download your pictures onto your pc. 2) Organize them there into folders for the albums that you want. 3) Use iTunes to sync your pictures & add those folders, creating the albums on your phone. 4) Delete those pictures from your recent pictures album.
NOTE that you have to keep the folders of pictures on your pc if you will ever want to change any of them: syncing pictures again will overwrite/delete any existing albums added to your phone!!!
