For many people, their smartphone is the camera they use most. After all, you always have it with you. The standard camera app is often quite limited, though. So it can be a good idea to use an external app for your photography.

I was surprised by all the smartphone tips and I myself was still using the original app of the iPhone 12-PM, after watching this I use my smartphone camera with much more pleasure! Thanks Jeroen...

Question;
it is very annoying that my Whatsapp photos are mixed in among all the camera photos. Then I want to quickly show someone a photo and there are those weird photos from messages from my wonderful friends in between Now I have read that in Whatsapp I can turn off saving/showing photos in an album but I don't want that, I do want them separately in an album, or only all the camera images separately but just not all mixed together.

Do you perhaps have a good tip for this too?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
John

My favorite app is the standard camera app on my iPhone. With Lightroom, Halide and the Moment app as a close second, third and fourth.
