It can be frustrating to have to sift through all your photos just to find that one image you need. Luckily, there is a way to separate your screenshots from the rest of your photos, making it easier to locate them when you need them.
By creating a separate folder for your screenshots, you can keep them organized and easily accessible. This can save you time and frustration when you’re trying to find a particular screenshot. In this article, we will show you how to separate screenshots from your camera roll on iPhone using a few simple steps.
How to Separate Screenshots from Camera Roll iPhone
If you want to keep your camera roll organized on your iPhone, separating screenshots from your regular photos can be a helpful way to stay organized. Here’s how you can easily separate screenshots from your camera roll:
Using the Photos App
You can use the Photos app on your iPhone to create a separate folder for screenshots. Here’s how:
| 1. Open the Photos app on your iPhone. |
| 2. Tap on the “Albums” tab at the bottom of the screen. |
| 3. Scroll down and tap on “Screenshots” to view all your screenshots. |
| 4. To create a separate album for screenshots, tap on “Edit” in the top right corner. |
| 5. Tap on “New Album” and name it “Screenshots” or any other name you prefer. |
| 6. Now, go back to your camera roll and select the screenshots you want to move to the new album. |
| 7. Tap on the “Share” icon and select “Add to Album.” |
| 8. Choose the “Screenshots” album you created to move the selected screenshots there. |
Using Third-Party Apps
Alternatively, you can also use third-party apps from the App Store to help you automatically sort and separate your screenshots from your camera roll. Apps like “Screenshotter” or “Screenshots – Organize Photos” can assist you in managing your screenshots efficiently.
Step 1: Access your Photos app
To separate screenshots from your camera roll on your iPhone, start by opening the Photos app on your device.
Step 2: Select the Albums tab
Once you are in the Photos app on your iPhone, tap on the “Albums” tab located at the bottom of the screen. This will take you to a page where all your photo albums are listed.
Step 3: Scroll down to Media Types
Once you are in the “Albums” tab, scroll down until you see the section labeled “Media Types.” This section categorizes your photos and videos into different types, such as Selfies, Live Photos, Panoramas, Slo-Mo, Time-Lapse, Screenshots, and more.
Look for the “Screenshots” option and tap on it to view all your screenshots in one place. This will make it easier for you to manage and organize your screenshots separately from your camera roll.
Step 4: Tap on Screenshots
After selecting the Albums tab, scroll down to find the Media Types section. Tap on “Screenshots” to view all the screenshots you have taken on your iPhone. This will help you easily locate and manage your screenshots separately from your camera roll.
Step 5: Review and select screenshots
Once you have successfully created a separate album for your screenshots, it’s time to review and select the screenshots you want to move there.
Open the new album you created for screenshots and go through all the screenshots in your camera roll. Review each screenshot and decide which ones you want to move to the new album. You can tap on each screenshot to view it in full screen and make sure it’s the one you want to keep.
Take your time to carefully select the screenshots that you want to keep in the new album. You can choose to move all the screenshots or only select a few that are important to you. Once you have reviewed and selected the screenshots, you can proceed to move them to the new album by following the steps provided in the previous sections.
Step 6: Create a new album for screenshots
Now that you have selected and moved all your screenshots to a separate folder, it’s a good idea to create a new album specifically for them. This will help you keep your camera roll organized and make it easier to find your screenshots in the future.
To create a new album, open the Photos app on your iPhone and tap on the “Albums” tab at the bottom of the screen. Then, tap on the “Add” button in the top right corner and choose “New Album”. Name your album something like “Screenshots” or “Screenshots 2022” to make it easily identifiable.
Step 7: Move selected screenshots to the new album
After selecting all the screenshots you want to move, tap on the “Add To” button at the bottom of the screen.
Choose the new album you created specifically for your screenshots.
Tap “Add” to move the selected screenshots to the new album.
Now, your screenshots are separated from your camera roll and organized in their own album for easy access.
Step 8: Access your new screenshot album
After creating the new album for your screenshots, you can easily access it whenever you want. Simply open the Photos app on your iPhone and navigate to the Albums tab. Look for the album you named in the previous steps (e.g., “Screenshots”) and tap on it to view all your screenshots in one place.
This dedicated album makes it convenient for you to organize and find your screenshots without them cluttering up your Camera Roll. You can quickly share, delete, or edit your screenshots from this album without mixing them up with your regular photos.
