Same answer applies to you.

I want to delete photo from camera roll only and move that photo to specific folder and keep it in that album. how to do it? please fix this issue.

There is no fix, this is how it works. Photos you put in album is just a place holder and it points back to the photos in your camera roll, if you delete from camera roll it deletes from album too.

Putting photos in albums does not change the number of pictures you have. Albums are not storing duplicates, they are just referencing the photos in the library. You can add a photo to many different albums without needing more storage. That is exactly why the photo has to remain in the library after adding it to an album. The library is the only place where the photos are stored, not in the albums.

I know, but Apple should be able to find a workaround. I put it in an album for a reason and I want to reduce the number of pictures I have.
