This change aims to help users find what they need more quickly. The Collections tab retains the Library's logo but offers streamlined access to Favorites and Trash folders, with the rest of the sections arranged in a 2x2 grid based on usage.
The "Photos On Device" folder will be replaced with "On This Device," displaying locally stored images and videos in a grid format. While this might require an extra tap for access, it aligns with the new layout's design. Additional sections include Albums, Archive, Documents, Locked, People, Recently Added, Screenshots, and Videos. The Utilities folder has been removed, with its functions now spread across separate sections like Free Up Space, Import Photos, Locked Folder, Make A New Creation, Manage Photo Frames, and Move Photos to Archive.
