Move photos to archive

You can hide photos from your Photos view and move them to archive. This can help you organize your photos and hide any photo that you don’t want to find often.

Any photos that you archive:

• Will still be in any albums that they were added to, search results, and folders on your device.
• Won’t be used to create highlight videos or animations.
• Will still count towards your storage quota. Learn how to manage your storage.

If you have a document, receipt, or photo that doesn’t look like it should be in your Photos view, you might get a suggestion card to move it to archive. Learn how to manage your suggestion cards.
