Hi,

Is there any way that I can filter my pictures between work hours and privat time?

I use my iPhone a lot, and I take a lot of pictures for work, but I would like to not see them after work hours, so I could easyer find my privat pictures of family and so on. The focus function is great but is laking this function 😕
 
Not really. The closest thing would be adding the work photos to the hidden album, but that would make them unsearchable.

I see, to bad, it would be a nice thing to have. Or just a work folder inside the photos app, and choose that everything between 08-16 is work related 🤔
 
You can add photos to a album so you can maybe just have a work album. As far as automatically having photos moved during a certain time slot...I am not sure that a shortcut can be created for that. My best bet would just to create a album of current work related photos and add as you go.

Another option is to maybe use another camera app that has its own photo storage/management and use that exclusively for work.

You could use Shared iCloud Photo Library, not in a shared way but just for yourself. That way, you can toggle between two libraries, both in the Camera and the Photos app and only see the content that you want at that time. It works great for that purpose.

 
Perhaps via Automation there is a way to move to pictures into a Work folder.

Automation could look for a time/location of the picture taken and move them.
Get Location/Time from Photos
Filter Location where Town/City is...

You can create a shortcut to trigger the Automation.
