The Photos app in iOS 8 splits a users' photos between three sections: Photos, which organizes photos into years, collections and moments, iCloud Photo Sharing and Albums, which contains an alternative to Camera Roll in a "Recently Added" album that organizes photos by date.
Camera Roll allowed users to have easy access to their recently added photos without having to go into a photo within a section of the Photos app, which caused many users to be upset by the loss of the feature. iOS 8.1 will be released on Monday, October 20.

I guess you told the other 7 billion people that don't read MacRumors?
But not from the people who don't use beta's. :rolleyes:
So I was imagining not having the option to view all my photos in one place without having them divided up into annoying chunks by date? Even older photos that don't show up in recently added?
And what about those who don't read MacRumors or tech news?
BS! Camera roll has ALL your photos. NOT just recently added. Not everyone wants to go through sub folders to find photos. Camera Roll=All in one spot. They really should get rid of "recently deleted" as well. Makes no sense.
