How to disable photo summarization on iPad?

I do not want iPad to summarize my photos by day, by subject or anything. I want to see every photo, every time. How do I turn this off?

To view all photos, tap the "All Photos" tab while viewing the library.

See: Browse your photo library on iPad - Apple Support


You may also want to tap the aspect ratio button, to avoid the tiled view and see the photos in the correct aspect ratio, not cropped to squares.


It can help to organize the available collections and pin the ones you want to use and get the ones you do not want to use out of the way: Browse your photo collections on iPad - Apple Support (CA)
