How to Add Photos to iPhone into Folders

by Gary on April 21st, 2008

A lot of people get addicted to “the pinch” when viewing photos on the iPhone. A common question I get asked when people view my pictures is “how did you organize them into folders?”. Well, the solution is simple and it’s not very complicated at all. This following method is for PC users, for Mac users it would involve the same but tinkering with iPhoto. More on that later!

How to Add Photos to iPhone into Folders

Step One: Create a new folder on your desktop. Within this folder, create new folders and rename them to whatever you wish. EG Travel, Family, etc. Drag and drop your specific pictures into these renamed folders.

Step Two: Plug in your iPhone and launch iTunes. Click on your iPhone, and under the Photos tab at the top, tick off the appropriate folders you want your iPhone to sync with (these being the folders you just created and renamed). Next, sync your iPhone and TADA! Organized folders on your iPhone will appear!

I hope this helps all those people out there that asked me how to do this. Let me know how it goes for you. :)

    You can also use the iPhone application named Photo-Sort. Here is the link:

    That right. It seems that you can't organize photos on the phone directly. OK if you've got a PC nearby, but what if you're travelling? I hope this gets fixed.

    So if you have pictures that you took with your iphone, you have to transfer them to your PC organize them there and then move back to your iphone, when you sinc?
  • BikerProf
    Yeah, I managed to work that out but there doesn't appear to be any way to move pictures from folder to folder on the phone itself. Any ideas?

    Having the pictures sync from "My Pictures" is not a problem. The directory does not matter (where you put the folders), just within iTunes/iPhone, locate the folders you want to sync and done!

    Do you have to drag those folders into My Pictures after or will itunes find them on the desktop?
    I did similar but I made the folders in My Pictures, and synced that.
    Thanks
