Can I upload whole albums and preserve the names?

Hi! I recently switched to iPhone and was unable to transfer photos from my Android to my new phone, hence why I’m here. I need a good place to store all my photos so that they are easily accessible ...

Hi Morgsbek, thanks for messaging the Community!

 

When you enable the camera upload feature, it will automatically attempt to upload any images in the camera roll  and any albums you choose to the Camera Uploads folder.

 

It won't be possible to preserve any album names, since all images go into the Camera Uploads folder.

 

If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.

Hi resurrecting this old thread.  Can we get a feature request to preserve the albums when using this feature?  Dumping everything into one folder is a kinda crummy user experience.
