Hi M S.1, I checked and it seems you had a different thread open, troubleshooting about your Photos tab on your mobile.

 

When you say that the link takes you to this very page, I am not exactly sure I follow. Can you let me know more as to which link you're referring to?

 Megan,

 

the link referred to is included in your message and embedded here "I found this relevant idea on our idea board, though, which you can up-vote to show your support."

 

I also want to upload photos, move them to files and once moved not have them in the photos tab.

 

So I went to the link you gave and tried to upvote/request this and it just came back here.

 

the photos tab seems usless to me.  If you dont file them away they all will appear in the uploads section.  If you do file they just all stay jumbled up here anyway

    Hi steveroper, we appreciate the feedback, and the link provided was in error. Currently, it isn't possible to remove photos from the Photos tab.

     

    If you wish, you can suggest this change for others to vote on, so the dev team can look into this in future.
