If you're like me, you love how easy and convenient it is to take pictures on your iPhone — so easy, in fact, that your camera roll is filled with hundreds — er, thousands — of photos of your family, friends, travels, pets, and more. While it's a great tool for capturing memories, having any kind of order or trying to find or arrange photos on your phone — aside from searching through the dates — can prove difficult.
If you've ever wanted to rearrange the order of the photos on your phone, there's a way to do it, but it does take a bit of a hack.
Unfortunately, there's no way to rearrange pictures on your main camera roll — that's the one that's organized by date and contains every photo you've ever taken and haven't deleted. The good news? All you have to do to rearrange the order of a specific number of photos is to create a customized album — which can contain as many photos as you want — then use Apple's drag-and-drop feature to arrange them in whatever order you want.
Try it out by opening the Photos app on your iPhone and following the steps below. (Note that this process only works in user-created albums, not in default albums like Favorites or the People & Places albums. It also won't work in shared albums.)
