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.

Yep, whenever I needed to find a picture I knew exactly where it was based on the pictures around it. It was the perfect reference tool. Just a few moments ago I wanted to show a picture to someone and couldn't find it for the life of me because I had didn't have that reference anymore and I couldn't find the picture and therefore could not show them.

Totally annoying and a large problem. I have over 4000 photos on my iPhone 5 and used camera roll to manage and transfer photos to my Aperture. I could find a photo in a few minutes at most. Now I can't locate pictures unless I know when/where it was taken so I can search through a "collection". The collections are not my making.


I can't figure out how to make an album without selecting 1 picture at at time. In an album I might want all 1200 photos from a year. Impossible to do. Help.


Apple, bring back camera roll, period. Let us then select and make albums from that or if necessary, smart albums. This is going to bring us into the dark ages.


Best case, how can I go back to IOS-7. It worked well.

Apple made a huge mistake! Please bring the camera roll back. I cant send old pictures to my friends on Facebook or Whatsapp cause they arent in the Recently Added. They should stop making changes that we can choose if we want or not. It should have an option to have the camera roll or to keep it like the new one. I had to create a new album with the old pictures to have it there and that just doesnt make any sense.
