IOS 8 lost camera roll

I just did the IOS8 update on my Iphone 5s and now I have no album for camera roll and instead it has 'Recently Added' which only has 25 photos instead of my 1000+ photos I had originally before the update. I still have all my photos on the collections bit but not in an album like before the update.


Help please?

Yes, it has changed. The Camera Roll is gone. You can make your albums as before.

I too hated this among other aspects of IOS 8. The horrible slowness, random crashes of facebook and other apps, complete hangs of applications. Trying to use bluetooth to make calls only to have it make the call and then disconnect my headset. The worst hanging and slowness was Safari. All of things things combined with the loss of photo roll led me to revert back to 7.1.2. I can hardly wait for the fanboyz to start ranting at me, telling me you can't safely roll back an IOS update and that my phone must be too old. Here's the deal. Lots of us were using iPhone 5,2 quite successfully, with good performance and no crashes under 7.1.2 prior to this abomination of an update. I'll be quite frank, this update was not ready for release, period. The product manager should be fired along with the release manager that decided in spite of the BAD QA feedback from the testers, that the update had to go live. Steve Jobs, god bless the man would have fired the whole **** team responsible for this embarrassment.

Wow!! You really stuffed up your install. Take it to an Apple Store or someone who can do it properly. Your symptoms are neither normal or wide spread.

Nothing was "stuffed up" on the install at all Pete boy. As I said, queue up the fanboyz. Phone is back to 7.1.2 and running fast, and normal. No need to update to 8.0 until they release a patch for all the issues. Pete boy, were you able to comprehend what you read, perhaps even apply the search function, you'd see the symptoms I reported were not unique, but rather wide spread.
