How to see photo count per year in Photos app?

Is there a way to see how many photos I have per year in the photos app? I’m trying to transfer older photos to a hard drive, and I want to make sure all photos are transferring, but I can’t figure out how many photos I have each year!

Are you using a Mac or an iPhone or iPad?

  • On an iPhone or iPad you would have to select all photos in a year at once to see how many it are.
  • On a Mac you could create a smart album with a rule "Date is in the range..." for the year you want to count the items.
