Organize photos and videos
The Albums tab includes albums you create yourself and some albums that are
created for you, depending on how you use Photos. For example, videos are
automatically added to the Videos album. All your photos in iCloud are in the All
Photos album if you use iCloud Photo Library (see iCloud Photo Library (on
page) ). If you don’t use iCloud Photo Library, you see the Camera Roll album
instead, which includes photos and videos you took with iPad and from other
sources.
Note: If you use iCloud Photo Library, albums are stored in iCloud and are up to
date and accessible on any iOS 8.1 or later device, Mac with OS X Yosemite
v10.10.3 or later, and on iCloud.com using the same Apple ID. See iCloud Photo
Library (on page) .
