iOS 18 Photos app rearrangement and camera roll issue

Ever since iOS18’s “big changes” to the Photos app I’ve found it super frustrating to be able to find the items I’m looking for.


When I take a screenshot or download a WhatsApp photo I want it to be right there at the end of my camera roll just like it always was - now it’s squirreled away in some hidden folder of a folder (organised all by itself - it probably has some sense to it but from PoV it’s pretty random!)


Some of the changes, like introducing grouped Albums etc are helpful I guess, but is there *any* way I can change settings somewhere to go back to having a simplified camera roll? Please?!

Look at the content creators on YT. And Talley up the comments. The data is clear.

In other words, you don't actually have a source. You're basing your information on comments you've seen online. You fail to take into consideration two things. One, people are more likely to post if they have negative feedback than positive. And two, it's unlikely you've read all of them. Also, it's likely that you read the "content creators" who you tend to like and agree with (we all do that) so, lots of confirmation bias.


IO18 Photos app is a huge failure. We demand that IO17 photos app be restored immediately.

No, not really. And no, you can't speak for everyone.
