An album in Photos on iOS? All albums within the Photos app on iOS are just mirrors of photos in the camera roll. In other words, albums don't actually 'hold' any photos, they just allow for grouping of photos stored in the camera roll.

If you're talking about albums from elsewhere, you could save the file to your phone at which point it would end up in camera roll.

Or maybe I'm just not understanding you at all.

Maybe explain a little more ... how did you move the photos from your PC to your iPhone? Airdrop?
I transfered pictures from a file on computer via iTunes sync, the pictures are now in a new album under photos on iphone
