Ios - 8 where are the 'camera roll' and 'photostream' albums?

I see the ios8 had done away with the "camera roll" and "photostream" albums and replace them with a "recently added" album. Is there any way to get this old functionality back?
All I want is one folder that contains all the photos on my device and another that contains the photos that I'm happy to share across my devices. I would have hoped I could have create some smart albums, but albums seem to have to be curated manually.
I know I can see all my photos with the photos tab, but there are two issue I have with this, #1 the "collections" interface is horrible – I just want a nice grid of photos like in albums – and #2 my photostream photos are merge within them.
I now have no way of telling if I'm deleting a photo from the phone or the photostream, for example when I'm trying to free up space on the phone.
Would turning on the "icloud photo library" feature help? I would rather not use that as I don't want it to waste all my icloud space.

So, basically now... the gallaries are gonna be the same. Because if you delete one photo from the iphone, you also delete it from ipad and viceversa.
This is stupid because i want to keep some photos on the ipad, but don't wanna have them on the phone.
AM I FORCED TO HAVE IPAD AND IPHONE WITH THE SAME PHOTOS???
what's the point in this???
This is so stupid. if you find any solution, please help.
PS: I have not activated the icloud drive yet.
You have regular albums and shared album.
As long as you do not enable iCloud Photo Library Beta, your photos are stored only on the iPad, unless you add them to a shared album.
When you create an album in the "Albums" tab, with "tap , enter a name, then tap Save. Select photos and videos to add to the album, then tap Done", this album is local on the iPad or iPhone.
Only "Shared" albums are stored on all devices,
When you delete photos from the photo stream, the deleted photos are removed from My Photo Stream on all your devices, but the original photos remain in Photos on the device on which they were originally taken. Photos that you save to another album on a device or computer are also not deleted.

HT201317 What's the difference between photo stream and camera roll??And am I doubling the storage I use if a photo is in the camera roll and an album?

Anyone there that can help me with photos and iCloud storage?

Thanks. I remembered to do a search after I created that post, found the above thread you referenced (and others), and then tried to go back and delete my post but wasn't able to. Is it not possible to delete one's own posts here?

IOS 8 - Disentangling Camera Roll and Photostream - help!

In iOS 8, Apple removed the “Camera Roll” and “Photostream” albums and collapsed them into a single stream of photos on the camera that can be accessed under “Collections”. “Collections” also includes all other photos otherwise loaded onto the phone, e.g., via iPhoto. This new arrangement upsets several familiar ways in which I’ve been using my iPhone and its camera, and I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions for how to recapture a few simple functions. (I have submitted Feedback on the elimination of the Camera Roll, and with this post I am looking for practical solutions to a series of new problems.)
Question #1. I maintained my Camera Roll as a reasonably-well curated set of maybe 300 photos & videos, taken on my phone, that I could pull up easily to show to people. I would like to know if there is a way to restore that functionality in iOS 8. “Recently added” does not go back far enough (one of my favorites was the very first photo I took with any iPhone, back in 2007); and “Collections” shows way too much – it includes everything in Photostream, as well as photos from Albums of scans, non-iPhone photos and other sources that I’ve synced to the phone with iPhoto. Thousands of photos. I also don’t care for the way in which Collections interrupts the thumbnails with date and location information.
Question #2. I kept Photostream turned on on my phone, because I liked the idea of automatically uploading photos to the cloud, particularly on trips when I was not in a position to download the photos directly to a computer for backup and safekeeping. However, now that Apple has eliminated the distinction between “photos in my pocket” and “photos in the cloud”, it appears that whenever I want to delete a photo from my phone (e.g. to save space) I must also delete the corresponding Photostream copy. Is there a way, with Photostream on, to delete local photos without also deleting the copy that has been uploaded to the cloud?
Question #3. I have a few old iOS devices that I let my kids use. They like to take photos and screenshots. Most of them are pretty stupid but once in a while they do something great. I’ve left Photostream on on those devices to see what they’re up to, and to capture the occasional gem. This was fine, when “Photostream” was a separate Album that I could look at, or not, as I chose. In iOS 8 however, all of their junk photos appear in “Collections” and are as much a part of my phone’s photo repository as the carefully-curated Camera Roll photos used to be. Is there a way to keep Photostream photos out of my “Collection”?
Question #4. I suppose someone could write an app that does nothing but display photos that were captured by, and reside physically, on the device. Perhaps someone already has, if anyone knows. Of course I’d prefer to use the native app for this function, but I’d take the function over nativity if I had to choose.
Question #5. Does anyone know (“know” – please no speculation, and nothing that an NDA forbids) how the iCloud Photo Library, which dropped back to beta in the final release of iOS 8, works? Does it provide the backup and safekeeping function of Photostream, along with the ability to view that set of photos separately? If so then I could turn off Photostream and at least get rid of that clutter.
Thanks for any and all help. And by way of reminder - https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html .

Here's one, eh, kludgy fix for Question #1. I don't exactly recommend it - it can be pretty laborious - but in the end it seems to get me back to about where I started with my Camera Roll.
Go into "Collections" and scroll back to about the date at which you expect to find your first native iPhone photo. (I have many imported photos that predate iPhone, so I can't just look at the first ones.) Tap through until you are looking at a single photo. Look at the bottom. If it displays a "Favorites" heart, it's physically on your iPhone (and as best I can tell, was taken by the device). Tag it as a favorite. Swipe to the next photo. Skip if it shows no Favorites heart - that means it's not on your phone - and tag it if it does.
At the end of this process (did I mention it's laborious?), you should have a Favorites album that matches the photos that were on your Camera Roll when you upgraded to iOS 8.

Both of my kids have ipod touch 4. On 1 we can edit the camera roll and delete muptiple pics at once. On the other, we can't edit in camera roll and have to delete each picture one at a time? How do we get edit as an option in camera roll?

Hi jenny,
Are you certain that they are both running IOS 6.1.3? Go to Settings>General>About, and check the "Version".

HT203082 Why are camera roll and photostream no longer separate? It makes it take up so much room on my phone!

when ever i delete a pic from camera roll, it deletes it from photostream on my phone and computer. I just want the pic out if camera roll so it takes up less space! This is SO frustratinG.

Update to iOS 8.1 and disable iCloud Photo Library (Beta). Then you can see the Camera Roll and the Photo Stream again separately.
As soon as you enable iCloud Photo Library (Beta), the Camera Roll is no longer separately shown, so disable it.
Alternately, you could try to save space by using iCloud Photo Library (Beta) Then your photos will be stored in iCloud and not in your Camera Roll. Only smaller, optimized versions will be kept on your device, if you enable "Settings > Photos & Camera > Optimize iPhone Storage.

Hello. It looks like I recovered all my keywords attached to photos. What I did:
First I located all photos without keywords using a metadata search.
I found that it seemed to be certain groups of photos that had no keywords. I decided to at least get the main keyword on all of those in a particular group, like Canyonlands.
Once I added one of the keywords, the others all showed up magically! I then went to each group of photos and added the main keyword, and the others came along and attached to the photos.
Don't understand why this occurred or why it got fixed, since it was so random. But, I'm glad to have my keywords restored (I had divided flowers by color, etc. so it was a lot of work!)
Thanks for the discussion and help.

Why has the camera roll and/or stream roll been merged together?

Wwe hat happened to my stream roll? This IOS8 system is not as user friendly as IOS7 was.

Update your iPhone to iOS 8.1 and you'll get the Camera Roll and My Photo Stream back.
If you have already updated to 8.1 go into Settings and turn off "iCloud Photo Library Beta" which will bring back the Camera Roll and My Photo Stream.

Albums is a way or sorting photos. Photos aren't moved from the Camera roll. The Camera Roll consists of all the photos on the phone. If you delete from Camera Roll they are deleted everywhere but Photo Stream.
Are you using Photo Stream? Your photos, providing they wer recent should still be in Photo Stream. If you have Photo Stream set up on your computer they should all be there.

How do I delete pictures from my albums other the camera roll and My photo stream

How do I delete pictures from my albums other then the camera roll and my photo stream

Photos in albums that were transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync/transfer process are removed the same way. Move the photo or photos you want to delete from the selected album or folder of photos on your computer followed by a sync.

I created an iMovie using pictures from my camera roll, I exported the movie to the camera roll and then deleted all of the pictures. Now I can't get the movie to play. Did deleting the pictures cause my IMovie to disappear? How can I get my movie back?

No; TV shows and movies are currently only available in the US. Apple says it hopes to take movies international in 2007.

Hello Achates:
I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

HT204022 If I reset photo stream will the photos in my camera roll be deleted as well or will they stay in the camera roll and just be removed from the photo stream?

Welcome to the Apple community.
When you reset photo stream from the iCloud.com website, the photos will remain on your various devices, unless you also disable photo stream synchronisation and then turn it back on again.
