Why can’t I delete photos/videos after updating to iOS 11?

I just updated to iOS 11.0 on my iPhone 7 and I can’t delete any pictures or videos from my camera roll.

Already tried restarting my iPhone as well as backing it up to my computer.

this is a maddening version of photos and the solution is at least as confusing as the problem. it shouldn't be this hard, Apple. Pay Attention!

I am having this issue also. I love opening photo and seeing photos of exboyfriends and friends that can’t be deleted. It is comical that there is so much discussion about this issue and I am STILL sifting through replies trying to understand how to correct it. Apple over complicating things as usual. I’m getting tired of wasting so much time on them.
