Imagine walking into a new coffee shop, feeling overwhelmed by the unfamiliar layout and decoration. But after a few visits, the shop starts to grow on you, and you begin to appreciate the unique charm it brings. The new Photos app on iOS 18 is like that coffee shop – it may take some getting used to, but it has the potential to revolutionize the way you experience your digital memories.

The app's redesign has sparked a heated debate among iPhone users, with some embracing the change and others feeling lost in the "total chaos and disorganization" it brings. However, for those who are willing to adapt, the new design offers a wealth of new features and customization options.

One of the most significant changes is the ability to hide screenshots from the gallery, making it cleaner and more organized. This feature alone has been praised by many as a game-changer for their digital decluttering needs.

But what about those who still long for the familiar layout of the old Photos app? Fear not, because there's a way to tweak the new design and make it look eerily similar to the old one. By customizing the app's settings and removing some of the new features, users can create a layout that's more to their liking.

The key to unlocking this customization is the "Media Types" feature, which allows users to categorize their media in a way that's both intuitive and visually appealing. By removing unnecessary options and choosing the right filters, users can create a clean and streamlined viewing experience that's reminiscent of the past.
