Why is the IOS 8 camera roll gone?

Why did the camera roll album go away after downloading IOS 8. Now I have to go through tthe dates of every photo I took. Also some of my photos I took this year went into (started) a brand new date/album in 1970 I wasn't alive back then!

This is not correct. Camera Roll arranged things by the order in which you saved / took the photos. The "Collections" stores them by metadata within the photo itself, which for many users is not useful. Same with Recently Added... which doesn't store them in the order in which you added them, but again, by internal datestamps within the photo.
I am an artist, and make drawings based on photos I find and save. Some of those photos might have been taken years ago, so now on iOS8 a photo I saved mere seconds ago, instead of being right where I expect to see it within Camera Roll, is now mired somewhere within Collections or Moments with no easy way to find it.
Similarly, I used to save a photo, then draw it and save a photo of my drawing, and they'd be side-by-side within Camera Roll, convenient for posting to social media sites. Now, the original photo, since there is no Camera Roll, cannot be posted or even seen by the most popular Apps such as Instagram.
In short, Apple decided to arrange photos according to internal computere-produced data within the photo itself, within "Collections" instead of "Albums", and further confused things with PhotoStream and iPhoto and iCloud and iCloud Drive and Family Sharing, to the point where many users simply do not know what to do.
It's time Apple responded.

  • IOS 8 Camera roll gone!

    Even if I create another new album by transferring all photos from collections to this new create album... resulting duplicate photo from my own folder that has already created before this updates. Pls fix this and is annoyed and frustrating especially those photos I have already group them in my own folder.

    I put all the ones I wanted back into Favorites. Now my entire Photos App is nice and tidy for the first time in four iPhones.

  • Camera roll gone after iOS upgrade

    I see that with the iOS upgrade "Camera Roll" is no longer available in Photos.  It appears to have been replaced with "Recently Added".  Well I had quite a few photos in "Camera Roll" and they are now missing.  "Recently Added" is taken literally - it no longer has older photos in it.  Is there a place where my photos can be retrieved?

    Wow, that isn't very obvious.  I went into the Photos category at the bottom of the screen to finally see 'Collections'.  These photos are sure hidden deep.  Not the most convenient but at least they are still there.  Thank you! 

  • Why do I have 2 camera rolls in my iPhone 4?

    Why do I have 2 Camera Rolls in my iPhone 4 Photos?
    The seconf Camera Roll has many dupes.
    Why does Camera Roll not automatically sync with Pictures in my laptop?

    Pics taken with the iphone are not part of the sync process at all.
    You should be importing these to your computer regularly as you would from any digital camera.

  • Why are some photos on camera roll but not in photo stream. Unable to backup as camera roll size is too big for free 5gb.

    Why are some photos on camera roll but not in photo stream. Unable to backup as camera roll size is too big for free 5gb.

    I assume you have Photostream on, correct?
    In order for the photos to be moved into Photostream, you must exit the camera app, and be on a wifi connection.  Both of these criteria must be met before the sync occurs.

  • WHY WON'T MY 3GS CAMERA ROLL OPEN?

    Why won't my 3gs camera roll open. i select it and the it goes back to the main screen. I've tried the hard reset but still not working:((((

    Shut down and restart the app...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Tap and hold any icon until they wiggle
    - Press the red (-) to delete the offending app from this list.
    - Press the home button twice when done.
    - Restart the app

  • "Sharing" a Lr Mobile TIF file to the iPhone 6 camera roll converts the TIF to JPG.  Bad, bad, bad Lr Mobile!

    I have another discussion concerning Lr Mobile and TIF files that exist in the iPhone 6/iOS 8 camera roll (aka "Recently Added"): Lr Mobile 1.2.1 does not recognize .tif files added to iPhone 6 + iOS8 Camera Roll
    A new issue has surfaced.  When I add a TIF file in Lr Desktop to a collection that is synced with Lr Mobile, the TIF file appears as a TIF file in Lr Mobile.  So far, so good.  But if I then "share" that TIF image using the "Save Image" command in Lr Mobile, the image gets converted to a JPG file before it is added to the iPhone's camera roll.  This despite the fact that the iPhone 6 camera roll can save and display TIF files captured by the iPhone's camera.
    Please fix this problem, as well as the problem concerning display of camera roll TIFs in Lr Mobile that is the subject of my other discussion!
    Cheers,
    Jeff

    The file that comes into Lightroom mobile is labeled as a Tiff but is really a smart preview that Lightroom has generated from the Tiff and synced to the cloud.  The file your iPad is pulling in from LR Desktop is not a Tiff in the true sense. so it wouldn't make sense that it would save to camera roll as such.
    That makes sense.  I'll try enabling offline editing for that TIF file to force a download of the full file and then try to save it to the camera roll.

    How come although iPads are getting more powerful, the iOS apps from apple are so mediocre and just not that great? We spend all this money for the latest ipad and all we get is these $5 video and music apps from apple. Why create the iOS platform and only offer so so apps like IMovie and GarageBand ? While other developers are offering much better apps like pinnacle studio for video, Cubasis and Auria for music production, apple has not showed much growth in terms of innovation. While there's nothing wrong with making an app like GarageBand where "anyone " can make a song, how about something for real musicians or an app not so basic as it get for video editing? After spending 0ver $700 on an ipad I'd be willing to spend more than $5 for a better video or audio app.

    First, try a system reset although I can't give you any confidence.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Is there away to save the pictures on Camera Roll into an Album?

    How do I move the Pictures from Camera Roll to a designated album?

    Import the photos with your computer as with any other digital camera. Organize the photos into albums or folders on your computer as with other photos on your computer followed by transferring the albums or folders to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process.

  • How can I move the items in camera roll to my PC?

    How can I move the items in camera roll to my PC. The only option I see is to e-mail each one. Are there other options?

    When you plug you iphone into the computer you should get a box that pops up with the heading "Apple iPhone" and below it says "camera connected". Your computer is treating the iPhone like your digital camera. Below this is several choises. Choose "Microsoft scanner and camera wizard". This will lead you through the steps to create a folder in your computer photo file and you can copy all your photos to that file.

    I think they want you to upgrade to the new Iphone  or get the Iphone c or s
    Well of course they would, but that's not why iPhone 4 can't have iOS8.  It is simply the fact iPhone 4 can't support the features of iOS8.  Le'ts be realistic in recognizing iPhone 4 is now over 4 years old.  In cell phone land, that is ancient........

  • How would you describe the function of 'Camera roll'?

    How would you describe the function of 'Camera roll'?

    ITs the folder that stores pictures taken with the camera or downloaded from the web.   Or stored from Apps running on the iPad.
    Basically any picture or image created on the iPad will reside in there.
