The Auto-albums feature is enabled by default in OneDrive. This feature makes OneDrive automatically create albums using photos that were taken around the same time and in the same place.
Once the Album is created, OneDrive will notify you about creation of this Album and what is more annoying is that it will also create special Monday morning albums to celebrate your weekend photos.
