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 ***
iOS 18.0.1 is available and no Photos fix!!!

I think you nailed it. I hate it!
11,471 views and 161 comments and almost all of us hate the new Photos app... Will Apple listen to us or keep it the way it is now?
I did all last evening and this morning and, like I said, all I could see is Recent Days and it does not show all the photos that should be there. I have 6 photos in the Camera Roll in the third party app and Recent Days only shows (Yesterday) 4 photos. Where are the other 2 photos. I have all the Customize options on. If I want to send someone a photo from a week ago (the missing ones) I can't as I can't find it. The other options in Recent Days are from about 6 months ago and older and I am not going through over 6500 photos to try and find the 2 missing ones.

I have provided Apple with feedback about how I think the changes to Photos are, so far, some of the things I like best about iOS 18. Photos is gorgeous and so much more flexible.

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.
When I tap that photo in the Camera app and All Photos, just tap on the photo and it'll be enlarged... swipe for more

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.
My apologizes to everyone who said Recents... I restored my iPhone 8 and everybody who said Camera Roll was changed to Recents was correct and I was wrong (not intensionally)... I don't know where I got Camera Roll from!!!

It can be hard to keep up with Apple's terminology. Or keep it straight. Don't even get me started on Apple TV.

They are the same thing only if you never sync your photos to your computer, otherwise they are most definitely not. For us who do sync our pictures to the computer, the "camera roll" or "recents" folder only kept the pictures taken on your phone that had not yet been synced. For people who sync not being able to have those pics separate can be a real issue.
Trying to convince Mr. Finch that you're right and he's wrong is rather pointless. He can do nothing to change the way Apple has decided to do things.
I could not disagree more. The "Library" is the dumping ground of both photos in the "camera roll" and pictures synced from my Mac. The only way I have found so far to only see the photos on my iPhone's "camera roll" is to look at them via the Camera application (lower right hand corner). Apple, you task me!!!!

Bottom line is, I think a lot of people complaining like me have a workflow that has been up-ended by the new Photos app. As usual Apple has optimized their photos app to serve lemmings that upload their photos to iCloud and trust Apple to organize everything on their iPhone. Not me. My photos mean too much to me.
Bottom line is that no one here can do anything to change what Apple did. And calling people "lemmings" because they make a different choice than you is rude.

I typed in sept 10 2024 to Search and got pictures from a week ago. What exactly happens when you do that?
That doesn't work for me as more than half my photos were scanned and synced with my iPhone and I remove all EXIF info for anonymity.

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.

Solution found to the missing "Recents" folder but it cost me $16. I found an app called HashPhotos in the App Store that is a photo viewer that gives me back my "Recents" view from iOS17. I can easily view and delete picture/videos stored on my iPhone that I (1) took using the iPhone camera, (2) saved to photos from emails or texts or (3) screenshots. Never thought I would have to turn to a 3rd party app to give me back baked-in iPhone functionality that was there since day 1.
You should send that as feedback to Apple saying you have to pay for an app in order to use Apple's free Photos app properly like it used to be.
I found this and it seems very good... in Photos you can see Camera Roll and Screenshots and Wallpaper and your entire Library... you can download photos to your PC as well as upload to your iPhone and lots more... and there's a free giveaway... it's called Winx MediaTrans for PC and there's a Mac version as well
Where did the Camera Roll go in iOS 18
