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
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.

Change the "Sort By" from "Rank" to "Oldest" (or "Newest").
Duh... so that's what that is for...thanks :)
Hmmm... keeps going back to Rank when I reload this page... even changed it in Preferences.

Log out and log back in.

Please do not post false information. I have been an iOS user since the beginning. Even at version 17 of iOS, the name “Camera Roll” has still been in use.
Actually, APPLE has not used the term Camera Roll since iOS 13. That is a FACT. Some user have used the term “camera roll” loosely, but that is not a term that Apple uses.
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!

I guess you didn’t bother to read the thread you added to.
That's only partly true. It's true that the camera roll is there in the Camera, but you can only see it one image at a time, so if you want to scroll back to an image you took a while ago it will take a long time. Select/delete is similarly hard.
It truly is awful. Which genius thought it would be a good idea to replace the day/month/year feature with just “days”. And no, the search /filter does not help when you are trying to look for a photo taken sometime at the beginning of 2008…. We now have two dozen different ways to look for photos and NOT ONE is an improvement on the old version.
Before I could take a photo, edit, send it out and delete. Now it is messy.
probably changes inspired by AI mood - let's decide for user how it shall be done ... who care about user really
frustrating and contr-productive

Have you told Apple?

I think the redesign of Photos is fantastic and I've told Apple so.

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
Tell Apple:
I've given them my feedback about how much I like the redesign.

Likewise; once I took the 5 minutes to understand it I love it; the redesign is a major improvement, almost as good as Google Photos.
I’ve tried and tired to use the new Photos add for the last 4 days, but the more I use it, the more frustrated I get. Each task is far more convoluted that the previous Photos, and just not well thought out. Especially if you’re someone that puts in the effort to organize your photos on the desktop into albums, and sync them back the phone. It’s an epic fail, much worse than the maps fiasco from years past. I’m at the point I’m returning my 16PM, and going back to my 14PM running 17.
Is this Apple’s “New Coke” moment?
Recently Saved doesn’t cover all Camera Roll photo as they used to. Some picture that was taken earlier not all of them are there, theoretically it just your ‘recent save’
I want the old Camera Roll back
I agree entirely. I currently have 84,000 photos on my iphone - ongoing daily. The majority of which are in carefully produced titled folders which I can access as required. I don’t need these images on my camera roll! Camera Roll is Camera Roll - not Camera Roll Plus Plus Plus! It’s just extra pollution!
Apple please allow clarity to prevail again - as before. Douglas
I’m here because there’s a problem with the photos app. With IOS 18.0 , when you pull cards off of SD card , they used to go into a separate IMPORT folder. It’s not there anymore and now they are tossed into my normal pics. This is a problem because it’s hunting season and I literally upload at least 20,000 pics a month . We need imported pics to go to its own imported slot. I can’t believe Apple did this
Where did the Camera Roll go in iOS 18
