If you take a ton of photos and videos on your iPhone or iPad, you may start finding it hard to find something you want to show someone quickly.

Launch the Photos app on your iPhone or iPad.
Tap on Albums in the bottom navigation if you aren't there already.
Tap on the plus sign in the upper left hand corner to create a new album.
Name the album and then tap Save.
Tap on all the photos you'd like to add to that album. You'll always be able to add more later.
Tap on Save in the upper right hand corner.
Your new album should now appear in the Album tab of the photos tab.
