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
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.
*** EVERYONE Request it to come back here Feedback - Photos - Apple ***
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.
This is not true. The camera roll shows photo taken on the iPhone. Library shows all photos in photos such as photos synced from my Mac and shared albums
This is a huuuuuuuge fail from apple. I hate this new set up. I need my camera roll back. Whoever decided on this needs to be fired

Camera app, your library is right there it didn't go anywhere, do some exploring and you'll find it.
Photos is totally trashed. Bring the old manager back.
cannot easily see all recent photos taken without seeing all photos in all albums. I don’t want to see saved. Nor mixed up with all my album photographs.
if a recent photo is favourited, it still gets deleted in group select deletions.
When a favourited photo is deleted, it also loses its favourite status, making it even harder to find your favourites that got deleted among recent bulk selection.
What a mess!
Is there any other 3rd party app than can manage photos better?
Yeah, the Photos app needs the Camera Roll back. The way it's set up now makes no sense at all. Why are just two of the photos I took today only showing up in Recent Days but not in the Library where the rest of the photos I took today are showing up??? Why doesn't it just put them all in the same place now?
The overall update is amazing, however this picture, album, favorites, movie chaos is the worst move I've seen apple do in an upgrade. I literally can't even find a video that was taken last night. Everything is scrambled and is a serious pain to deal with. With hundreds of thousands spent on apple products, I've never had an issue and love the company but being a long time apple person, its rare to see such a drastic bad move on something so functional, efficient for user ability. Bring it back Apple!
I absolutely HATE the new format! Apple doesn't usually screw up things but you had a great product and ruined it. Please restore the former format ASAP!
Hate, hate, HATE the new Photos app. I can’t find ANYTHING !!!
The Camera App shows all the photos in the camera roll but only in tiny little thumbnails. Would be better if the thumbnails were bigger and also available in the Photos App.
I found it... I re-read razmee209 first reply to me and he said Camera app.
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.

You can pinch to zoom in and out to change the thumbnail size.
click here ➜ View photos and videos on iPhone - Apple Support
Or just choose Zoom In from the menu in the lower left corner.
This is what I've submitted via Feedback - Photos - Apple :
Prior to iOS 18, the Photos app provided a folder called "Recents" where a user could review the photos they'd taken using that phone (as well as photos saved from messages, screenshots, etc) in order to decide which to keep, which to upload to their Mac, etc. In iOS 18, the Photos app lost that functionality. The photos described above are shown mixed up with photos synced from other sources, making it impossible to do the triage. I cannot overstate the seriousness of this loss of functionality.
At https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255760698, I see that there's a clumsy workaround in the Camera app. This doesn't work on my iPhone.
Note: I don't use iCloud Photos. I sync selected photos from our Mac to my iPhone.

Where did the Camera Roll go in iOS 18
