How do I sort and favourite my Memories?

The Memories tab has no sort control. Your newest Memory is always first. What you can change is which ones sit above the rest: open a Memory, tap ⋯, and choose Pin Memory.

Pin one

1. Open the Memory and tap ⋯ in the top bar.
2. Choose Pin Memory. Unpin Memory, in the same place, puts it back.

Pinned Memories move into a PINNED section at the top of the tab. The cards look the same as everywhere else. Only their place in the list changes.

There’s a second way to do it. Press and hold a Memory’s card in the Memories tab and choose Favorite: the same action, under an older name.

How the tab is laid out

• PINNED: the ones you pinned. It only appears once something is pinned.
• ALL MEMORIES: everything else of yours, newest first.
• INVITATIONS: shared Memories waiting for you to accept or decline.
• SHARED BY YOU, and SHARED WITH YOU: the collaborative ones, split by who started them.

A shared Memory nobody has joined yet sits with the rest under ALL MEMORIES rather than in a section of its own. From where you stand, it’s still a Memory of your own.

Pinning is a setting on this phone, not part of the Memory. It isn’t uploaded with everything else, so it doesn’t follow you to another device, and nobody in a shared Memory can see what you pinned. Shared Memories can’t be pinned at all yet.

Finding one, rather than sorting

A name you’d recognise, an emoji and a colour do more here than any sort would. “How do I change a Memory’s colour, emoji and cover?” covers changing all three later on.
