Where did photostream and Cameraroll go in iOS 8?

I can't seem to find my photostream or Camera roll albums in iPhone 5 and iPad Air running iOS 8, in addition, the All imported album on iPad, which is the accumulated total images imported to the iPad through the camera connection kit, is now gone, as well.


I have enabled iCloud Drive, but I cannot work out how to use it, can anyone help?


The biggest frustration is actually the missing photostream and camera roll

iPhone 5, iOS 7

Basically I cannot delete a picture I snapped with my camera off the iphone without it also being deleted off of photostream / icloud? How can I just delete the local picture off of the device and have it stay in photostream for access from ipad or apple TV, etc

FLip side what if I want to keep the picture local on the iphone but don't want it on photostream. How do you delete. Do I have to use the web interface now?


This is getting ridiculous. Turning off photostream until I understand this better

For posting pictures to Facebook or twitter, I would think that you could use the iOS integration and just share directly from moments.


Alternatively, you could do the screen shotting as suggested, but that will destroy the original aspect ratio unless the aspect ratio already matched the iPhones. It might also mess up the resolution. Facebook already does some compression, but compression on top of changing the aspect ratio and resolution might be undesirable.


Finally, the least practical way to do it that would also probably work is to mail yourself the picture, then delete it from moments, then get the mail, then save the picture. I am not 100% sure that would work, but it probably would.

You may be able to find your earlier photos under collections or moments. If you restored your phone as a new device or changed phone, you should be restoring from a backup. Your might find some of your pics in photo stream if they haven't roled off yet. If you shared them as a shared photo stream, you may also be able to see them via a browser on your computer.
