MOVE photos from 'Recents' (was Camera Roll ? ) to Folder.

First things first.....who's smart idea to change 'Camera Roll' to 'Recent'......there are photos in here from 5 years ago?!? Why are they Recent?!


Second thing. The 'Recents' is like an inbox, i like the inbox to be empty (this means im organised), a full inbox means i dont know if im organised...... So i have to take photos to do with my different work threads.... Houses, cars, home life, fitness etc...... these photos enable me to quickly reference different problems that need solving.


But i never know if ive moved the photos to the relevent folder....as they remain in the 'recents' (dumb, dumb name!) folder. So i gave up putting files into different folders and now my 'recents' folder has 2700 pictures....spanning all the work threads i need to deal with, and it takes an age to find(mostly you cant find it) the relevent photo.


Why can i not MOVE the photo from folder to folder....why oh WHY does it only create a pointer from the folder back to 'recents'....Its sooooooooooooooo daft.


Every now and then my iphone throws me a "memories" slideshow thing, showing me my photos, and its plays (to music) a slide show of broken toilets, broken cars, and lots of other crap that needs fixing....Thanks for the memories....i dont think the iphone was designed for people who work.....


I bought another phone(android), cos this bs ****** me off so much, but then found i couldnt copy contacts to SIM on iphone.....so how do i get my contacts to my android....?! Why cant i copy contacts to SIM, tried and tested method....thats has worked since year dot.


Dear developer.....make the change, will take a few minutes....roll it out on an mini update....



iPhone SE, iOS 13

fyi apple, its my choice if i want to COPY or MOVE a picture......not ures.....


So many people complain of this crappy function and you do nothing to fix it, when it would be SOOOOOOO simple to fix.




So i can 'Save to Files' a picture......cool (cos i think this is an actual COPY...... not just a pointer), but how do i get the Folder(File) (great naming conventions again eh apple!!) that i have saved(COPIED) the picture to to show in My Albums......or indeed anywhere?
