While some users like the new redesign of the photos app in iOS, others (like me) do not.  So, I searched Google to try and find a way to make the app bearable to use again.  This is how to get some of your sanity back.

1. Open the Photos app on your iPhone.
2. Scroll to the very bottom of Photos app, at the very bottom, tap on the “Customize and Reorder” button.
3. At the “Customize and Reorder” screen, tap the blue checks to deselect collections you want to hide from Photos app, and also you can tap and drag the collections to change the order of how they appear in Photos app.
4. For many iPhone users, moving the ‘Albums’ collection view to the top is helpful, along with other collections they were frequently accessing before.
5. When finished, tap the (X) button to close and return to Photos app to see your freshly reorganized Photos app.

There are more ways to customize the photos app, but that’s for another time.
