I have noticed that when I try to organize my image collection, and place images in different albums, they do not move out of my Camera Roll, but they are copied to the album selected. I want to move these photos, not copy them, how is this done?
Thanks

You can not move them out of the camera roll and move them into albums. It doesn't work that way. The albums that you create for organization contain pointers to the photos and if you were able to move them out of the camera roll, they would disappear from the albums.
You could import all of the photos to your computer, delete the photos from the phone, create albums on the computer, sync the photos organized into albums back to the device. But you can not do all that you want to do on the phone itself.

Hi there I am hearing what you are saying but what if I was to get a app to store and make albums then delete from camera roll will this method still delete from the albums in the app? ThNks
That would most likely depend on the app. If there's a specific app you're considering, consult with the developer.

I hope they reconsider this problem and incorporate it to their succeeding updates.
Did you submit feedback to Apple letting them know how you feel?
And how do you think I restore on my Android devices? And I don't have to be screwed up with a 10,000 photos album that I can't organize by miself.
This is ridiculous!
the Samsung /android photo library lets you move photos around freely. it makes no sense for iOS to be so limiting.
You can also create a Google Photos account. If you install the Google Photos app it will automagically upload all photos as soon as they are taken. And organize them by location and date.
