Where is camera roll on my iPhone?

Answered by Cody Janus

In iOS 13, Apple made some changes to the organization of the Photos app, including the location of the Camera Roll. Previously, in iOS 12 and earlier versions, the Camera Roll could be found directly under the “Albums” tab. However, in iOS 13, the Camera Roll is now located within the “Photos” tab.

To locate the Camera Roll in iOS 13, follow these steps:

1. Open the “Photos” app on your iPhone.
2. At the bottom of the screen, you will see several tabs: “Photos,” “For You,” “Albums,” and “Search.”
3. Tap on the “Photos” tab, which is the first tab on the left.
4. In the Photos tab, you will see your photos organized by date, with the most recent photos at the top.
5. Scroll down to view older photos, or swipe up to see more recent ones. The Camera Roll contains all the photos you have taken with your iPhone.

It’s important to note that if you have iCloud Photos enabled, all your photos will be stored in the cloud, and you will be able to access them from any device with your Apple ID. In this case, the Camera Roll will still be visible within the Photos tab, but it will only show the photos that have been downloaded to your device.

If you have disabled iCloud Photos, the Camera Roll will display all the photos that are stored locally on your iPhone. This can be useful if you want to save storage space on your device or prefer to have your photos stored locally.

The change in the location of the Camera Roll to the Photos tab in iOS 13 is a minor organizational adjustment made by Apple. It is aimed at providing a more streamlined and intuitive user experience within the Photos app.

I hope this explanation helps you locate the Camera Roll on your iPhone running iOS 13. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, feel free to ask.
