Removing photos from recents without removing same from an album Is this not possible? Recent switch to android to iphone and noticed when I "place" a photo in an album but then delete from that massive "recent" or "camera roll" folder it also deletes from the album. I did read here that it isn't actually moving the photo just linking it but the last thread was from over a year ago. Has this been changed? I do not want thousands of photos just hanging out in camera roll or recents...........

You can't

Photos in albums are not the actual photo but a shortcut to the actual photo that resides in the Recents folder.
