Use Collections


Collections are a great way to group related photos:

You can create collections for events, trips, family members, or any category that makes sense for you.


Add Tags


Tags make your photos searchable:

2. Tap the "Edit" icon

3. Select "Add Tags"

4. Enter relevant keywords


Good tags include people's names, locations, events, or descriptive words about the photo.


Use Automatic Organization


Laytly automatically organizes your photos in several ways:


  • **Date**: Photos are sorted chronologically
  • **Location**: If location data is available, photos are grouped by where they were taken
  • **People**: Face recognition groups photos of the same people together
  • **Smart Albums**: Automatically created based on events or time periods

  • Regular Maintenance


    Spend a little time regularly to keep your photos organized:


  • Delete duplicates and poor-quality images
  • Add tags to new photos
  • Create new collections for recent events
  • Share organized collections with family members

  • Backup Your Photos


    Even with great organization, it's important to back up your photos:


    1. Go to Settings > Backup

    2. Enable automatic backup

    3. Choose your backup frequency

    4. Select which collections to include in backups


    Search Effectively


    Use Laytly's powerful search to find photos:


  • Search by date ranges (e.g., "Summer 2024")
  • Search by location (e.g., "Paris")
  • Search by person's name
  • Search by event (e.g., "Birthday")
  • Combine search terms for more specific results

  • By following these tips, you'll be able to keep your growing photo collection well-organized and easily accessible.
