Photos not saving to camera roll

I didn't trust the downloads other people were suggesting, so I found my own way to fix it. Only recently in the past week camera roll has been acting up quite a bit (similar to your problem). I had just recently activated iCloud because my 8gb iPhone ran out of internal storage and iCloud seemed like a good solution to the problem. I tried a few other things before doing what I did. To fix it you go under settings, then under iCloud it shows all the different things for iCloud. So you go under photo stream and disable it, next go under documents and data and disable that as well. This allowed me to at lest open Camera Roll but taking pictures takes longer to save to Camera Roll, so I still have to fix the rest of the problem, hope this helps!!! (Note: If any important documents or pictures are saved to iCloud do not do this)

Thanx

SOLVED
Hi had same problem for several days for no apparent reason, i'm using iPhone 5s 9.0.2
all other photo apps were working fine, and even when i took a pic i could access it from the bottom left corner as long as i had the camera app open
but for some reason when i opened the camera roll/pictures these photos were not there anymore.
Tried restarting, but didn't work

I let the battery die then charged the phone, now it works just fine, and all the previous photos that i took were also there.

Hope this helps.

I had the same issue with my iPhone 5S. Photos weren't saved to camera rolls. At the same time, the photos were blurry. Fortunately, I was able to solve the problem by resetting all the setting in Settings - General - Reset - Reset All settings. I'm not sure if it would solve other people's problems; however, I was able fix my phone.

Good luck

Hello,

I solved this issue on my phone: Settings > Photos & Camera > My Photo Stream / iCloud Photo Sharing: enable booth of these options.

Actually, enabling only "My Photo Stream" can solve this problem.

Hope this helps.

Can confirm this works:

1. Go to Settings > Photos & Camera

2. Turn on "My Photo Stream"

3. Turn it off again.

The camera obviously resets the permissions and "invisible" photos are visible again.

Happy days! 🙂

I have been having this problem as well. I did what you said and turned my photo stream on then off two times. Then restarted my phone. Boom. All my pics showed up. Thank you!!!! 🙂

This is how you fix it, quite simple.

1)Restart your phone,

2)open the camera app, take a photo and press the thumbnail to view the photo you just took

3)Share the photo via iMessage and then restart your iPhone

Problem should be fixed, here is an interactive page to help you http://www.addictivetips.com/ios/how-to-fix-photos-not-appearing-in-camera-roll- in-ios/

I'm using a 5s, and mine has just started doing exactly the same thing. Just tried the restart option and it seems to be working again.

The trouble is, it's another instance of 'things going bump in the night' with Apple's software which makes me begin to question whether they're losing the plot. There seem to be so many glitches nowadays that metaphorically need you to unplug the machine from the power socket, count to five, and switch it on again. Similar things have happened with my Apple TV. What's going wrong there?

I can still take a photo from the message app and send the photo, but photos do not save to my camera roll. The take a picture and send it, does not work as a fix.

Same is happening to me, where you able to fix it? How?thanks?
