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?

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?
