Use photo albums in Photos on iPhone
Use albums in the Photos app to view and organize your photos and videos. Tap Albums to view your photos and videos organized into different categories and media types, like Videos, Portrait, and Slo-mo. You can also look at your photos arranged on a world map in the Places album, or browse your photos based on who’s in them in the People album.
The Recents album shows your entire photo collection in the order that you added them to your library and the Favorites album shows photos and videos that you marked as favorites.

If you use iCloud Photos, albums are stored in iCloud. They’re up to date and accessible on devices where you’re signed in with the same Apple ID. See Use iCloud Photos on iPhone.
