One of the most controversial aspects of iOS 18 that has irked iPhone users is the redesign of the Photos app, which they feel operates more like a media library.

While Apple has expanded the capabilities of the iPhone through personalization options and artificial intelligence (AI), the change in the Photos app interface has faced strong criticism from the community. Especially since users cannot revert to the old interface, despite efforts to search within the settings.

Photos App on iOS 18 Lacks Intuitiveness

Many users find the new interface of the Photos app less intuitive and more complex than its predecessor. Apple’s removal of the bottom menu has forced users to rely on more gestures for navigation, which has proved challenging for many. While some appreciate the improved album organization, the lack of a menu has made moving between folders difficult.

Undoubtedly, Apple has enhanced the Photos app with several useful features, but the question arises: Is it worth sacrificing the simplicity of the app? The inability to revert to the old interface has genuinely disappointed many, even after getting accustomed to it over time.

To aid users in adapting to the new interface, it is essential to understand some elements of the Photos app in iOS 18. The top portion of the screen houses the entire photo library. Users can scroll vertically to revisit old photos and easily search by year, month, or day. Additionally, the up or down arrows on the left allow them to adjust the photo view and sort files based on different criteria.

Evidently, with these changes, iPhone users need time to familiarize themselves and adapt to the new interface of the Photos app on iOS 18.
