Does anyone know how to restore the old Photo app of iOS17 or maybe the whole iOS17?
The new iOS18 is headache. It’s taking extra space. It’s a bit slower and draining battery faster. However, those are all manageable. The worst is the new Photo app. It’s a nightmare. When a company can’t create a new good innovation, they start to kill their good ones.
Can you change the new update on photos back to the old system. The new one is hard to navigate, I cant find the categories used on the last version. It is not user friendly. Can you reverse this back to the orginal software on photos.

No, but you can learn how to use it, as I did, and now I think it’s a big improvement over the old version.
I am also being driven mad by trying to use the new Photos App for my large photo collection.
I followed the link given by some helpful person below to provide feedback.
I got kicked out first time when my query got too long so I kept my second attempt simple. This is what I wrote:
New photo app is driving me mad. Please tell me how to get out of a single picture you are editing back to the others around the same date a few weeks ago. Previously I could just toggle back to my place in Recents. How do I do that now?
Why don’t we all send feedback, explaining our own particular problem with it?
My comment was deleted, because I’m saying the original multi-layer navigation was a better UX/UI than this current single page. We will see if this one will stay. I’m not going to write any feedback to them. Why do I bother to help them improve, if they don’t respect me. I’m going to buy a Google phone next time.
How can I uninstall the 18.1.1 update? Can’t do it in Storage. If I can’t, hello Samsung!!!

I sent feedback, complimenting Apple on the greatly improved Photos app.

I'm with you, my friend. It's a big change, but to me one which is really a HUGE leap forward.

It's curious that the people who like the new Photos app are all high-level members of these boards. Assuming you're not trolling, do you have to agree to write posts like this in order to get to the higher levels? It's a serious question.

It's not a serious question and we all know it. Points are awarded by other users. You have the option of marking posts helpful if you think they are. Lots and lots of people have found Lawrence's posts helpful. He has written User Tips I refer to almost every day.
Not all senior users like the new Photos. But apparently they have no interest in wading into the muck of threads like this.

YES! Google phones are ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! There will never be anything about your Google Pixel that you don’t just love!
And no one in this user to user forum cares how you spend your money.

This was insanely helpful I removed basically all the categories. I didn’t think to scroll all the way to the bottom. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful for you!
Can I restore the old Photo app in iOS17?
