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.

Camera app, your library is right there it didn't go anywhere, do some exploring and you'll find it.
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 typed in sept 10 2024 to Search and got pictures from a week ago. What exactly happens when you do that?
Same problem. I cannot find camera roll

same answer applies to you too.
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.

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”)
Thanks, a funny place to hide it but at least it's there.
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 ***

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”)

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.
That only shows the entire library, it does not show what’s on the actual camera roll like before iOS 18. Try my way and you’ll see.

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.
Where did the Camera Roll go in iOS 18
