I'm on a pixel 6 and in messages, I have a tile view of most recent created/modified photos, whether that's download, camera, whatever folder.
For a specific folder of older images, I usually click into the camera with two taps of the power button and get into photos library that way.
I don't know if that's the best way, just how I get into all the folders if the photos are older
Yeah I think I'm just going to need to build muscle memory to do it that way instead. I think it's especially not useful for me because I recently imported all of my photos from iCloud. A whole bunch of what shows for me are old engagement photos of me and my ex. ๐
Haha, rough.
Especially with a newer phone, it's easy to have one app for every function without overloading the memory, so I'm sure if you look through different available photo apps there will be one where you can set a group of your favorite folders so you can just click straight into there
