is there a way to revert the photos app? i hate the new version.

I HATE the way the new photos app looks. I liked the simplicity of what we had prior to iOS 18. I don’t want to revert back to iOS 17 but I do want the previous photos app. Help! 😭😭

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 18

Only the current version of Photos is compatible with iOS 18.

Try to break it in to your needs. It is more flexible and we can configure which collections will be shown. We can pin the collections we need most, so we can find them quickly in one place.

I did not like it either initially, but I could find a configuration that is working for me. See: Customize the Photos app on iPhone - Apple Support (CA)

And I could get rid of many collections, that I never use and that are just a waste of space.
