After a number of complaints about the Photos app<\/a> redesign in iOS 18, Apple is tweaking the look and feel of the app in its new OS release, now branded as iOS 26. <\/p>\n

The change was briefly mentioned Monday during the keynote at Apple\u2019s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC 25); Apple noted it was bringing back a tabbed interface to Photos, though it won\u2019t look the same as before.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany of you missed using tabs in the Photos app,\u201d said Craig Federighi, Apple\u2019s senior vice president of Software Engineering \u2014 which is as close as Apple will ever get to admitting it made a mistake with the app\u2019s overhaul last year. \u201cPhotos now features separate tabs for Library and for Collections,\u201d he added, while demoing the update.<\/p>\n

In Collections, you\u2019ll find your favorites, your albums, and you can search across your library.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Library tab makes it easier to scroll through recent photos \u2014 a user interface many people clearly prefer.<\/p>\n

The changes to Photos in iOS 18 led to some backlash, as it centralized every way you could interact with and organize your photos on a single page. Some developers even capitalized on the backlash, offering third-party photo apps that promised to bring back the old user interface for a fee.<\/p>\n

Also in the iOS 26 update, the Photos app is able to transform your 2D photos into 3D spatial photos. This feature can be found on the iPhone\u2019s updated Lock Screen and is inspired by Apple\u2019s Vision Pro spatial computing headset. <\/p>\n

Related to Photos, the iPhone and iPad\u2019s Camera app was updated to make it easier to find its many features. The app now showcases the two capture modes you use most on the main screen: photo and video. To reveal additional modes, you can swipe your finger left or right. Here, you can switch to things like Portrait Mode, Cinematic Mode, and others. To access other settings \u2014 like the flash, timer, aperture, and more \u2014 you\u2019ll now swipe up from the bottom of the screen. <\/p>\n

You can also change formats with a tap, which is helpful for switching between HD and 4K resolution or adjusting the frame rate on video. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
