Add Your Favorites to Albums

Over time as your photo collection grows, you’ll find you have many favorite digital photos. How do you organize these so that when a friend asks to see your favorites from your Tanzania trip a few years ago, you can easily find them? You add your favorites to albums. Below are the instructions for the iPhone/iPad.
