Oppo: Create a New Photo Album

When photos and screenshots keep piling up in one long timeline, finding a specific shot becomes a scroll marathon. The Gallery app on Oppo phones lets you group images and clips into albums, but ColorOS keeps the feature basic. You cannot pick a cover image, rename categories after the fact in every version, or nest one album inside another.

Create a Photo Album auf Oppo

Oppo phones running ColorOS store every photo and video in one continuous timeline by default. Albums exist to group related shots, but the Gallery app treats them as simple folders rather than fully customizable categories.

You can create as many albums as you want, and there is no limit enforced by the system. What is missing is finer control: you cannot set a custom cover image, and you cannot sort one album into another album to build a folder hierarchy.

Creating a new album

Open Tap on Photos and switch to Tap on Albums. From there, open Open the Menu and select Tap on New album. Enter a name for the album and confirm with Enter a Nameand tap Save. On the following screen, choose the photos or videos you want inside it and confirm again with Select Photos/Videosand tap Save.

The selected media is added to the album, but it stays in the main timeline as well, since ColorOS links files into albums instead of physically moving them. If you delete an image from an album, it usually still exists elsewhere in the Gallery unless you remove it from the whole library.

Frequently asked questions

No. ColorOS links existing photos and videos into the album instead of moving the files. The same photo still appears in the general timeline under Tap on Photos.
