How to add more geotagged photos to a photos/points layer

Question

Hi,

I'm using ArcPro Standard 2.7.0 on Win64 (not that I think it matters in this case.)

I have a layer of geotagged photos as points. I've taken more photos that I want to add to the same layer. When I use the tool "Geotagged Photos to Points" with the current layer name it doesn't add the new photos, it overwrites the whole layer. Is there a way to add more photos to these layers? I can put the photos in subfolders and add the whole subfolder each time but this is kind of clunky and I'm worried it will cause problems later when I update symbology, attribute table etc.

I've got no idea about this tool if I'm honest, but can you just create a new feature class using that tool then merge or append (appreciate attachments and stuff are not necessarily simple beasts, but just throwing it out there)?
