Organize Your April Favs!

organization organize monthly pics May 02, 2023

One of the easiest ways to start organizing your digital pictures is to take five minutes each month to put your favorites in a "Best of" album! 

Benefits of having a "Best of 2023" album:

  • Most of us take hundreds, if not thousands, of pictures a year. Having your favorites in one place will make finding, sharing and printing incredibly easy now or even years down the road!
  • Prevents endless scrolling, which can often be frustrating and unsuccessful
  • Making your holiday card in December will take a fraction of the time because you've already organized your favorites all year long!

If you haven't made a "Best of" album yet, now is the perfect time! Simply, follow the directions below: 

Apple Users: 

  1. Open Apple Photos App from your phone 
  2. Click "ALBUMS" at the bottom of your screen
  3. Click the "+" sign in the top left corner
  4. Select "New Album"
  5. Give your album a title such as "Best of 2023" and click "SAVE"

 
Google Photos Users:  

  1. Open Google Photos App from your phone 
  2. Click "LIBRARY" at the bottom of your screen
  3. Click the "+" sign in the top left corner to create a new album
