Keeping and looking back on photos and videos

Thousands of photos on your phone, videos nobody watches again: ways to keep family moments organized and easy to revisit.

My partner and I each take pictures of the kids on our own phones, and they never end up in one place. How do we combine them?Pick one home for the family's photos, such as a computer or an external drive, and set a monthly transfer day. Move photos with the phone's built-in nearby sharing: AirDrop between iPhones, Quick Share between Android phones and, on many Android models, to an iPhone. Then keep two copies in different places.
