Where did the Camera Roll go in iOS 18

I do NOT like what Apple did to the Photos in iOS 18... I can not find the Camera Roll. Closest is Recent Days, but it does not show all the pictures that were on the Camera Roll. I have to use a third party app on my PC to see the photos. I think Apple screwed up somewhere. Come on Apple, put Camera Roll back the way it used to be and the way it should be.

iPhone SE, iOS 18

Open the Camera app and in the bottom left corner is a small picture beside the click button, tap on that small picture, once opened, it doesn't say Camera Roll, which would be helpful if it did, and all the Camera Roll pictures are there and if you tap the All Photos at the top, your entire library would show.


It'll take time to get used to it after all the years the Camera Roll was in Photos.

I need this back ASAP. The way I use photos is completely broken now. I need a place to see all photos that are on my iphone and have not yet been transferred off my device.

Even better, just use the built in way. Put your finger on the photos showing near the top of the screen and drag down. That will change the view to the full camera roll (now called the “library”)

Your library is the camera roll. What was called "Camera Roll" was changed to "Recents" in a past iOS update (forget which one) and has now dropped that name and is just your Library.

Any picture you take will be in your library, and as such that is your camera roll.

I don't believe there has ever been a separate Camera Roll to the general library. It was just called "Camera Roll" but contained the same things Library does now.

17.6 still showed Camera Roll in the Photos app.

My very recent photos do not show up in the Library.

The Recents do not show ALL my very recent photos, only a couple, but they all show up in the Camera app

For the 50th time it’s not the same for us that move pictures off and sync them back! Camera roll or the old recents had everything - photos, screenshots, pictures saved from other places. The only place you get the same group of items is going to camera and clicking in the lower right, but it’s not in a grid. We all just want that back as a folder, not sure why that’s so hard to understand.
