How to move Photos Out of Camera Roll?

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

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 9.2.1

I totally understand what you are saying. It's so frustrating! I recently switched to iPhone from Samsung. With the Samsung phone, you could do exactly what you are asking. Move photos from your camera roll, into an album, and the photos would remove themselves from the camera roll. I miss that!!!
