Organize your photos and folders

The iOS-based Files browser in Photomator makes it easy to organize the photos you edit. You can make your own folders or rename the photos and folders you already have when you press firmly on them.

Note: If you're renaming, deleting, or creating folders in iCloud Drive, the changes automatically update on every device using iCloud Drive.

Create a new folder
  1. In the Browse sidebar, choose a location for your new folder.
  2. Tap to add a new folder.
  3. Enter the name of your new folder and tap Return to confirm.
Delete photos and folders
  1. In the Browse sidebar, choose a Location and find the photo or folder you want to delete.
  2. Touch and hold its thumbnail, lift your finger and tap Delete in the Quick Actions menu.

To delete an image shared with you by someone else (so that it can no longer be recovered), tap Delete Now.

Note: When you delete an image that was shared with you, it’s deleted immediately from your device and can’t be recovered from Recently Deleted. If you later need to see the image again, tap the link you received in the original invitation or ask the owner to send another.
