iOS 8 camera roll is missing!!!

The missing camera roll is a nightmare!!!

Worst iOS experience ever. Honestly spoken I am thinking of replacing my Apple stuff by other devices. Again the "greatest" Update ever was promised, but I do not see anything great at all. I realy feel cheated now!

And the missing camera roll really annoys me. The collection is a very bad experience because most of the places are simply wrong and now there is no way to go chronological through all of my photos. Of course I can create an album with all of my photos, but how does it help? Should I add every single new photo I take?


I hope a lot of users are of that opinion so please reply and Apple will here this. Looking forward to the first update!

The Camera Roll and the Photo Stream have been combined into a single album called "Recently Added". This was done to address the users who did not like having to delete the photos in multiple places, and is undoubtedly a configuration that is staging the full implementation of iCloud Drive (which will replace iPhoto in the months to come).

"Recently Added" does not match my requirement of seeing all my photos chronological.

And correct me if I am wrong but I can also not modify the date until which the photos are shown in "Recently Added"...

I understand what was the idea behind but I do not see the argument to have no more "camera roll" as it was before in addition.

I'm really upset by the missing Camera Roll feature as well. It was simple and enjoyable to scroll through. I understand wanting to make things "better" but in not offering an option is terrible.


Apple, please bring the Camera Roll back.

You can still see your photos chronologically in the Photos > Years > Collections settings. The old Camera Roll only showed the order in which they were added to the Camera Roll, not the order in which they were taken. For example, if I saved a picture from an email into my Camera roll that was taken on January 15th, but it was currently March 15th when I did so, then it would be entered into the Camera Roll after my most recent photo.

Just use the Photos > Years > Collections to view your photos chronologically.

Please tell me you did in fact look under "collections" for your photos before making such a ridiculous statement...

No issue here with the camera roll...click the 'Photos' button in the bottom left of the screen to move back to the full view of all your photos. They're now just grouping them to make it easier to find and delete as needed.
