To do that, we need to first make sure we are in the "Albums" section

A message will appear that says, "Add files to album - To save your new folder, Family, you need to copy or move some files to it now." Basically, we cannot create an empty album. In order to create an album, we have to add some files to it. We can do that by pressing either the "COPY" or the "MOVE" option.

Now, at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen where it says "NEXT", we can see it also says the number "2" in parentheses
.
This means we have selected two photos.

Press down on "NEXT", and that's going to add the two photos we selected to our new album
