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.

IIf you are using the "events" on Mac - it is even worse! You can't imagine what kind of a mess I am having in my "collection" tab! that is one TERRIBLE update they made to Photo app! Now I can't separate my "events" files, from my camera roll files, and my "photostream" files (I am still using ios7 on my iphone, so my photostream is still in use on another device)

I am just another iPhone user amongst all the unhappy users here who misses Camera Roll. The Collection photo album is so messy and to be honest, I really hate the zoom in and out feature, and I also don't need photo details such as location, time or date taken.


Apple, if you are reading this, pls bring back the Camera Roll in your next updates.


Looking forward for your favorable response on top of the many complaints so far.

I agree. This is the worst change Apple did to Photos app. BRING BACK CAMERA ROLL AND PHOTOSTREAM ALBUMS!!!!

So, now I need to navigate into this messy events. Never liked this feature, when I needed to search for a photo I went to camera roll and find it quickly. I don't care about confusing dates or locations, I care about the pic I need and camera roll was the best option to find it. Also now I can't delete a pic I don't wanna share because I don't have a photo stream album to delete those I don't want??? Everything is gonna be shared???😠😠😠

I already sent a feedback to Apple commenting this. By the way there's no iOS 8 version option to select.
