If you have updated your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to iOS 8, you have probably noticed that Camera Roll in the Photos app has disappeared and been replaced by a Recently Added Photos album. Fortunately, there is a new app for switching back. Read ahead for useful instructions on how to bring back the Camera Roll to iOS 8.
My Camera Roll is a new app that brings the Camera Roll from iOS 7 back to the iOS 8 Photos app on iPhone and iPad. Simply download the app from the App Store and you can easily view all of your photos and videos on your device from one single convenient location. The regular photo filtering and social sharing features are included with the app.
Keep in mind that this is only a temporarily solution for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users running iOS 8 to iOS 8.0.2. It was recently reported that Apple has added the Camera Roll back to the Photos app on iOS 8.1 beta, which is currently in testing by developers and should be released in the coming weeks.
Be sure to check out our article on what’s new in iOS 8.1 beta, as the software update packs a number of modest changes and improvements that build upon the original iOS 8 version released a few weeks ago. iOS 8 is available as a free over-the-air software update for the iPhone 4S and later, iPad 2 and later and the fifth-generation iPod touch.
The official description for My Camera Roll:
“My Camera Roll brings your “camera roll” back to iOS 8! Easily view all the photos and videos on your device from one single convenient location. Advanced editing for photos allows you to easily edit photos to capture that perfect moment after the shot. Feel free to Facebook, Tweet, and Instagram your photos and videos like you normally would, My Camera Roll supports it all.”
The developer of the app claims that an upcoming update will make My Camera Roll faster and display photos in a Today view widget in Notification Center.
My Camera Roll is $0.99 on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
