Open the Photos app on your iPhone or iPad, and then follow these steps to add that new person in your life to the People album: Add a new person to the People album on iPhone and iPad Luckily there is a really easy way to add a new person to the People album in your Photos app or iCloud Photos library. Unfortunately, they may not show up there as quickly as you might like. So when someone new enters that you start snapping photos of, you might want them in that People album too. However, that "Beta" tag means "proceed with caution, because we aren't ready to promise that this thing won't eat all your pictures." You're prompted to back up your iPhone's local photo library to your computer before getting started, and you should be extra attentive to performing those kinds of backups for as long as that beta tag applies (we'd look for it to be removed either when Yosemite releases later this year, or when the OS X version of the Photos app comes out early next year).The People album in the Photos app is a pretty cool collection that’s assembled for you to quickly view pictures of the people in your life. "If you still want to use iCloud Photo Library, there's nothing here to stop you. You'll definitely need to pony up for more iCloud storage space if you're anything more than a casual photographer. Photo Stream photos don't count against your iCloud storage space, however, but iCloud Photo Library pictures will. iCloud Photo Library won't delete photos automatically. Both offer to sync photos between your various Apple devices using iCloud, but Photo Stream will only save pictures for 30 days or until you upload more than 1,000 photos, whichever happens first. It's similar to Photo Stream, but it differs in a few key ways. "Finally, there's that iCloud Photo Library feature Apple talked up at WWDC, which has made it to the GM build of iOS 8-but only as a disabled-by-default beta version. You've got to turn Photo Stream off if you only want to see the stuff that's actually on your device.

If you're taking a few hundred screenshots for something like this review, though, it's a little irritating to get screenshots from multiple devices plus pictures from iPhoto all mixed together. "Many will like this because it makes all of your stuff available everywhere, and it means you won't have to poke around in different albums to find a picture if you don't remember whether you took it on your iPhone or iPad. Now iCloud photos and local photos all mix together into one continuous stream. iOS 8 does away with the concept of the "camera roll," the album of photos taken locally on the device you're actually holding in your hands. The default Photo Stream functionality has changed in a way that regular people will probably like but that we personally find annoying. "Other changes in the Photos app are primarily cloud-related. People who were paying attention actually saw this coming! Checkitout: Note: To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."

Once you sync photos this way, you can't DELETE a photo from your phone. But at least they're there!ĮDIT: I've discovered an oddity. They are broken up by date, by album, etc.

No more endless, solid stream of ALL your pics. Syncing through iTunes DOES accomplish much the same thing, but the way the images display on your phone is clunkier. If you had iCloud enabled on your phone (for photos, as I did), and you opened Photos on your phone, then ALL your photos would just appear in the iCloud tab. Keep in mind, you didn't USED TO have to do that. THAT made all my photos sync to my phone. Then, I clicked iPhone > Photos, and checked "Sync Photos from iPhoto." > All photos. I connected my phone to my laptop, and launched iTunes.
