Have you ever wondered how to add more Albums to your iPhone when you click Photos? Normally you’ll have two albums – a Wallpaper one with the default wallpapers, and another one called Camera Roll. But wouldn’t you like more for Maps, Screenshots etc.? Here’s how… and the trick is – you do NOTHING on your iPhone! You’ll need to open iPhoto and iTunes for this trick. I’ve tested in a Mac but it should be the same for PC.

Step 1 – iPhoto

Create a new album by pressing the + symbol on the bottom left of iPhoto to create a new album. Call it whatever you want. It doesn’t matter if it’s a Smart Album or an ordinary Album.

Here I’ve made a new album called iPhone Wallpapers.

Step 2 – iTunes

Connect your iPhone to your computer and then select it in iTunes (it will be in a list on the left-hand side.) Now click the Photo tab, and tick Sync photos from: and select iPhoto. Choose Selected Albums from the radio list. Now tick the album(s) you want to appear on your iPhone when you click Photos. Now click Sync (bottom right).

I’ve picked the album I want to appear in Photo Albums on my iPhone.

Step 3 – iPhone

Once it’s all sync’d up, just click on the Photos application (the little sunflower) and your new album should be in there!

Edit – changed title because, well, how to add albums could mean music albums, and that doesn’t need a blog post to explain!
