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.

Incorrect.
for those of us that sync photos they’ve removed camera roll/recents and it causes a huge issue for managing photos…
That is not a bug. That was a feature change. The feedback link is good for letting Apple know what you think about that as well.
Well, it worked. By unsyncing my pics thru itunes I essentially got my camera roll back. Great, except now I don't have the 2000 pics on my phone that I had organized into groups. Bring back Camera Roll!!!
Yeah you not the one, I was always very much apple person but I think I will choose "freedom" and move to samsung myself. It maybe sounds silly but I have enough apple control. I already stop using music, because apple has told me what songs I can sync and what not. Now with this the photo app mess- I am getting sick of it.

I couldn't agree more. While the new photos app is ok in itself, removing the camera roll was the worst decision someone ever made! I want to see what is in my camera roll and only my camera roll! I don't want to hunt through hundreds of photos I sync'd over to my phone. I want to see what is in my camera roll only. And the only way I see this possible, is by literally removing any photos from the phone that are not in the camera roll. No more saved albums with my favorite photos if I want to be able to find what's in the camera roll.
You can certainly let Apple know what you'd like to see here:

Other than the fact that you're demanding something from Apple, I have no idea what that means.
Apple doesn't read here for feedback or suggestions. You can, however, let them know your thoughts here:

it’s not the same for us that move pictures off and sync them back!
It's seems fairly obvious, watching what Apple has done with many things, that they are trying very hard to push people toward using iCloud for syncing. I'm making no judgment on which way is best, nor do I especially care why anyone makes the choice they do. But, I think that it is nonetheless true.
It doesn't much matter whether or not anyone here agrees with your or even understands. You should let Apple know how you feel:

I have same issue: back up fotos on my PC and sync back. The camera roll is used for non-synced photos only. I guess most people are not that organized and don't get any use out of the camera roll folder. But why do those who have order in their photos have to be disorganized? The new photo app is not organized, it's chaos! Apple, please bring back the camera roll!
Posting to this discussion forum is good for exploring issues but to get something fixed, please report the problem to Apple via Feedback - Photos - Apple (as I have done). Thanks

Apple has removed/changed the Recents functionality and that's why users are complaining. The fact that you don't understand why this is a pain probably means that your use-case for the iPhone and the Photos is different from mine and other users.
Have you complained to the only people who can go anything about it?
It doesn't mean that users who are pointing out that a major part of the Photos app functionality has been taken away are wrong and should be scolded for complaining about it.
After a certain point, yes, it's kind of silly for people to be complaining here. We've long since past that point.

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?
No one here in this user-to-user forum would know the "why" behind what Apple does.
You can let Apple know your thoughts on the matter here:

iOS 18.0.1 is available and no Photos fix!!!
I haven't seen any major bugs reported in Photos. If you are seeing one, you should let Apple know:
You can also tell them you don't like the new interface but I wouldn't expect to see any major changes in that anytime soon.
I found the "Recent" or "Camera" Roll folder. It's been there all the time!era Roll". It's been there all the time.
Same problem. I cannot find camera roll

One capitalized word and it's a "heated discussion?" ;-)
Where did the Camera Roll go in iOS 18
