Tell an album from a folder
Make an album without ever worrying you have moved a photograph.
An album does not hold photographs. It holds a list of them, and the pictures stay in the library.
Adding a photograph to an album moves nothing, and one picture can sit in six albums at once.
Key points
- An album is a list of photographs, not a place they go
- One picture can be in several albums and in the library
What to remember
- An album points at pictures. It never takes them away.
- Albums borrow. Nothing moves and nothing is copied.
Try this
Open any album on your own phone, then go back to the library. The same picture is in both.
