Photos in iOS 26 brings back tabs and generates Spatial Photos


Apple has made the Photos app less of a mess in iOS 26, with iPhone users also able to convert 2D images into Spatial Photos from their device.

Apple had decided to put the Library as a grid in the top half of the screen, but then included carousels of featured sections directly below. While tabs would make it easier to go to specific sections, the new approach immediately had users scrolling to their images, albeit from a more cluttered starting point. To test the capabilities, AppleInsider used a photograph shot ten years ago on a consumer DSLR, which lacked depth data.
