your iPhone with a new recipes area, news, and more. To make it easier to locate recently stored images, regardless of when they were shot, Apple made a minor update to images when it introduced iOS 18 in September.

A redesigned Photos app that prioritized more groupings and albums was part of the iOS 18 upgrade that was published by Apple. If you swiped down, you could still see a grid containing all of your pictures. I didn’t like these adjustments, however. Rather, my favorite update to the images app is the option to organize images by the date they were uploaded.

Previously, when I saved a photo that someone emailed me, it was automatically arranged with all of my other images in chronological order, according to the time the shot was taken. I would thus lose the picture in a sea of other pictures from the previous year if I preserved a family member’s summertime snapshot.

Sometimes I would give up trying to locate it after scrolling through hundreds of images and movies. However, Photos has a Sort by Recently Added setting that allows you to arrange your photos according to the date they were saved to your device rather than the date they were taken.

To ensure you never lose a photograph again, follow these steps to arrange your images according to when they were saved to images.

How to arrange your pictures in the Photos app according to when they were taken

1. Unlock images.
2. To have the grid fill your whole screen, scroll up into your photographs.
3. In the lower-left corner of your screen, tap the up and down arrows.
4. Select Sort by Newly Added.

After selecting that choice, your images could move to reflect the new setting. Even if your most recent saved picture was from your wedding years ago, it will now appear at the bottom of the grid regardless of when it was shot.
