Thanks for mentioning this. I didn’t connect my general confusion in the Photos app with an upgrade but it makes sense.
The navigation is so unintuitive to me that I’ve killed the app just to try and get back to the most recent photos I’ve taken.
Apple products have mostly been very good. Even when I didn’t love the UX I could figure it out.
So many recent features just feel half baked (like replies in iMessage). I’m starting to wonder if they’re better off leaving good enough alone (not that that is a remote possibility).
The app is destroyed, but it has some candy coat that distracted me for clearly stating my confusion after the initial shock. One of the most insane interactions with the photo app now is that, the basic(?) view offers you a chronological view of your pictures, top to bottom, bottom being most recent. Fine. But any other section, pinned, albums, etc, the order is reversed! Not to mention every ‘section’ has its own visual effects going on, radically different between albums and pinned things etc. If this is what they mean with ‘disruptive’ i am out ;)
