Filter What’s Showing in Photos to Focus on Specific Types

You know you can make albums and smart albums in Photos and do searches to find photos that contain particular objects. But what if you want to separate photos from videos or identify which images in an album have been edited or pick out just the ones you’ve favorited?

We suggest you use Photos’ filters. On the Mac (below left), click the Showing menu in the upper-right corner and in iOS and iPadOS (iPhone screens below right), tap the ••• button in the upper-right corner and tap Filter.

Either way, you can choose Favorites, Edited, Photos, or  Videos to limit the items showing to that type. When you’re done turn the filter off by choosing All Items.
