Hi everyone!
New user here, meaning that after a life with Android devices I decided to switch and in September I got an iPhone 13, Apple Watch, iPods and this week an iPad mini. Overall I'm super happy with the OS and the devices, it's a good experience and an amazing ecosystem. It's normal that some things you need time to get used to and some things you might find them "not that good", but my main concern is with the Photos.
I tried to find answers here and on the web but got some different feedback so I decided to open a thread. These are my doubts:
- Photo taken with the camera, downloaded images from apps and safari they go all finish in the recent folder. Really? REALLY? Like this it's really a mess. I found here a "shortcut" that will help to move (ah no... copy -_-) photos taken with the camera in another folder that I named "camera" but to me this is not really great as solution. Is there a way to keep things really divided?
- You download an image, let's say a wallpaper, from a website but to use it you need to copy it from the download folder to photos. Correct? Tell me I'm wrong please, this just get the point above even worse.
- With Google Photos you can upload your pictures to "the cloud" and they would still be visible on your phone like you actually still have there but without using the space on the device. Is there a way to do the same with Apple? It's not about being afraid to finish the storage but to me in 2022 doesn't make any sense to do not have this option.
Hope you can help me to have clear ideas on this and find some solution where needed.
Thank you!
