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.

Removal of a separate camera roll is the kind of ill-thought out design nightmare that would have gotten entire departments fired in Jobs's day. Did nobody at Apple object to this boneheaded idea?


I don't want photos that I've deliberately left on my camera roll for any number of reasons mixed in with the thousands of other photos from my computer and the Cloud. It's a choice for me to keep them on my camera separately until I'm ready to sync, it's not accidental. That is, I keep photos -- camera roll, cloud, computer -- where they are for a reason and in their respective places for a reason. Why is Apple micromanaging where we keep our photos and thus making it more difficult for us to access photos when and where we want? I shouldn't have to browse through every photo I have everywhere to find a camera roll photo that is over 30 days old. Very poor user experience.

I you wanna criticize people and tell them to leave feedback....then why are you providing a link to the Mac Os feedback page instead of the iPhone page or iOS8 page??


I understand that leaving complaints here is fruitless...so I have already left feedback here.....https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html


So get off your high horse if you are not going to be helpful.

II'm having the same problem!

alsowhen I've taken a photo it shows in the bottom left box as it did before. But when I tap on to view it comes up with a completely different photo taken weeks ago!

why can't i instantly access the photo I've just taken to view?,

instead I have to look through all my photos/ recently added/ albums to find it!

very disappointed withe the new photos app

unless im doing something wrong?
