OnePlus: Create an Album in the Gallery App

When photos and videos from trips, screenshots, and app downloads all land in the same Gallery feed, finding a specific shot later gets tedious. OnePlus Gallery groups everything by date by default, with no automatic sorting by topic or event. Creating a named album under Collections lets you group related media manually, but the name you pick sticks unless you go back and edit it.

Create an Album for Photos or Videos auf OnePlus

OnePlus Gallery sorts media by date out of the box. Trip photos, screenshots, and downloaded images all sit in one continuous feed, which makes it hard to find a specific event later.

Albums, called Collections in the OnePlus Gallery, solve this by letting you group related photos and videos under a name you choose. This is useful for trips, recurring projects, or separating personal shots from screenshots and memes.

How to create an album

Open the Gallery app and tap on Collections. Tap Create album, enter a name, and tap Save.

Once the album exists, tap Add to fill it. Choose an album or location as the source, select one or more photos or videos, and confirm with Confirm.

You then choose between Copy to ... or Move to .... Copy keeps the original file in its current folder and adds a duplicate reference to the album. Move removes the file from its original location entirely, so it only exists inside the new album.

Pick a clear album name from the start. Some apps and backup tools use album names for sorting or syncing, so a vague or duplicate name can make files harder to track down later.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Open the album inside Collections, use the rename option in the album menu, and save the new name. Existing photos and videos stay inside the album.
