Updated photo galleries group photos more intuitively: by date, location, and collection

The iOS photo gallery is now searchable via location, which is particularly useful if you’ve given the Photos app permission to tag your photos by geographical location. iOS 8 also changed the way it organizes your photos, grouping them first in chronological order, then by location.
