Camera not showing all gallery photos

I’m not sure what I did, but I was looking at some photos earlier and I must’ve clicked something. I can see every picture and video I have just fine in the photos app, but when I go to camera, it’s only showing a select view. I believe these were ones that appeared in a “memories” compilation. However, now my camera app only shows these photos. How can I get rid of this? Thanks!

iOS 18 Photos app rearrangement and camera roll issue Ever since iOS18’s “big changes” to the Photos app I’ve found it super frustrating to be able to find the items I’m looking for. When I take a screenshot or download a WhatsApp photo I want it to be right there at the end of my camera roll just like it always was - now it’s squirreled away in some hidden folder of a folder (organised all by itself - it probably has some sense to it but from PoV it’s pretty random!) Some of the changes, like introducing grouped Albums etc are helpful I guess, but is there *any* way I can change settings somewhere to go back to having a simplified camera roll? Please?!

Camera roll gone in Ios 18 on Iphone 16 ProMax One month ago, I switched from an iPhone 12 Pro Max to an iPhone 16 Pro Max, IOS 18. Since then, I haven’t had any photos appear in the Camera Roll—the small thumbnail in the lower-left corner of the Camera app—just a blank black space or in the ‘All Photos' choice top right. This is an essential and primary way to view all photos in a timeline, which is very important. I’ve seen in previous threads that many people are experiencing the same issue, with a lot of irrelevant advice suggesting the use of the Photos app, Cloud storage and downloading to computers. However, this is not what we want. We want immediate access to all photos without having to switch apps or navigate through countless Apple-generated albums, or opening another device. Please restore thumbnail access in the Camera App !

iOS Photos App - Thumbnails Blank I'm browsing the 'all photos' view in the new iOS 18 photos app. Thumbnails are blank, leaving the app alone, they arrive so slowly as to make the app unusable. I have the optimised storage option, but this is pointless. I can't go back in time to see older photos.
