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.
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).
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!

Thanks! Great tip.
-
which version Itunes do you use? because I can’t find ‘albums’ or any of the other things showed on the picture.. (:
-
I’m using iTunes version 8 – the important thing to note is that the first picture is from iPhoto, not iTunes. You make the Album in iPhoto first, then use iTunes to sync that album to your iPhone.

Can you provide more information on iphone wallpapers, or do you have some resources you can share where i can read more about such stuff?

iPhoto is only available for Mac I’m afraid. Here’s how to add more photo albums to your iPhone on a PC – basically you make a folder on your PC with the images you want in it, and sync to it via iTunes.

Wasn’t Apple supposed to be user friendly?
Never seen a more complicated way to create a folder.

Couldn’t agree more – can’t see how adding folders and moving photos to folders is in any way difficult to implement on an iphone.
