Apple released\u00a0iOS 26<\/span><\/span>\u00a0on\u00a0Sept. 15, and the update brought a new\u00a0Liquid Glass<\/span><\/span>\u00a0redesign,\u00a0call screening<\/span><\/span>\u00a0and many\u00a0hidden features<\/span><\/span>\u00a0to your\u00a0iPhone<\/span><\/span>. But when Apple released iOS 18\u00a0in 2024, it brought a simple change to Photos to make it easy to find recently saved photos, no matter when they were taken. The change sorts your photos by when they were added to Photos, not by when the photo was taken, and it’s saved me so much time searching for photos.<\/p>\n Before, if someone sent me a photo and I saved it, the photo would be placed in chronological order — based on when the picture was taken — alongside all my other photos. So if a family member sent me a photo from last summer and I saved it, the photo would be lost in a sea of other snaps from the past year.<\/p>\n I’d scroll through hundreds of pics and videos to find it, and sometimes I’d give up. But there’s a toggle in Photos called Sort by Recently Added<\/strong> that lets you sort your pics based on when they were saved to your device, not when they were taken.<\/p>\n Don’t miss any of our unbiased tech content and lab-based reviews. <\/em>Add CNET<\/em> as a preferred Google source.<\/em><\/p>\n Here’s how to sort your photos by when they were saved to Photos so you won’t lose a picture again.<\/p>\n 1.<\/strong> Open Photos<\/strong>.
