Y‘all gonna hate the new Photos app. It took me since dev beta 1 to get used to it, and I’ve sifted through all my photos twice to delete unwanted ones.

What’s different about it?
You see on the bottom those "Folders" or whatever? That’s gone. No swiping to access the most recent pictures.
It’s a completely new app. Looks different, it acts different, the gestures are different, some icons (like editing) look different.
There’s customization options, this requires work, and no, you can not customize it the way it was.
:(
It’s awful. I had other incompatibilities but I would’ve uninstalled it for photos being so awfully itself.
Getting to a specific album is slow and a chore, it feels clunky.
Maybe it will be faster with AI but it’s not there yet so I need to go with what I see.
I’m loving the new photos app layout. Gets rid of the different “screens” and just has everything on one page. It’s just good UX. Always hated the old photos
