  • Open the synced album from iTunes and tap "Select".
  • Tap each image you want to move.
  • Tap "Add To" in the top left corner.
  • Select " New Album " and name the album.
  • Open the new album you created.

Step 5. Touch and hold the photo you want to move

The photo will become slightly larger when it is active.

  • If the "Copy/Hide" menu appears when you press and hold a photo, it means that you forgot to press "Select" first.
  • If nothing appears when you press and hold a photo, and you can't drag it, it means the photos have been synced from iTunes and must be moved to a new album first.

Step 6. Drag the photo to a new place

When you drag the photo, the other photos will shift when you move the mouse over them. Drag the photo where you want it.

Photos will be easier to rearrange if you drag them "through" the other photos instead of "around" them
