Organize your pictures into albums
The Photos application contains the following default albums:
• All images: Contains all pictures in JPG format on your phone.
• Wallpapers: Contains default pictures that you can use as your wallpaper.
The Photos application creates additional albums automatically as you add
the following types of pictures to your phone:
• Photo roll: Contains all pictures you take with your phone’s camera.
• Messaging: Contains any pictures in JPG format that you save from a
multimedia message.
• Downloads: Contains any pictures in JPG format that you save from an
email attachment.
You can assign any pictures on your phone to one of these albums or to an
album you create. To create and assign pictures to albums, you must put
your phone into USB Drive mode. You then create the albums and move
pictures into them using your computer.
1 Connect your phone and your computer using the USB cable.
2 On your phone, tap USB Drive. If prompted, tap OK. On your
computer, your phone appears as a removable drive.
NOTE On a Windows computer, if the Found New Hardware wizard opens,
click Cancel to close the wizard.
3 Open My Computer (Windows XP), Computer (Windows Vista), or
the Finder (Mac), and double-click the drive representing your phone.
4 To create an album, use your computer’s controls for creating a new
folder. To be sure the Photos application can find the album, create it at
the root level of the drive representing your phone, not as a subfolder
of another folder.
NOTE The Photos application displays an album you create only if the album
contains at least one picture in JPG format.
5 Assign pictures to albums using your computer’s controls to copy or
move items. It is easiest to find the pictures you want by displaying
them as thumbnails.
6 On a Windows computer, to end the connection safely, right-click the
drive representing your phone and click Eject. On a Mac computer,
from your desktop, drag the drive representing your phone to the
Tras h. Trash changes to Eject.

Save a picture as wallpaper), that picture is not saved to the wallpapers album.
