When I delete photos from my iPhone Camera Roll, why do they get deleted from the album I just added them to?
Let me explain how the iOS albums work, with the help of an example:Let's assume you just bought your iPhone and your Camera Roll is empty.You now make one screenshot and then take a picture of a car.In your Camera Roll (aka "All photos") you now have two images - the screenshot and the car.In the "smart album" Screenshots in the Photos app, you see the screenshot, too.Let's assume you now create an album called Cars and add the picture of the car to it. You now see the car both in the Camera Roll and in the Cars album.Now go to the Camera Roll and delete the screenshot. It gets deleted both from the Camera Roll and from the smart album Screenshots.Then go to the Camera Roll again and delete the car too. It gets deleted both from the Camera Roll and from your Cars album.This is because the albums in the Photos app (both smart albums and user-created albums) do not physically contain any photos. All photos are physically kept in the Camera Roll only (this is also why Apple renamed it a few versions ago to "All photos"). The smart albums can be regarded as automatic Camera Roll filters. So e.g. the Screenshots smart album filters all screenshots from the Camera Roll. Similarly, the user-created albums can be regarded as user-created Camera Roll filters. When you add photos to an album, you in fact define that when you open this album, you want to only see these photos from the Camera Roll. So everything is physically in the Camera Roll, and the albums are only filters thereof. Now, it's clear that when you delete a photo from the Camera Roll, any album that has shown the photo until now, can't show it anymore, because it physically disappeared when you deleted it from the Camera Roll.I hope, this helps you understand how the iOS photo management concept works. I don't say it's good or bad, it's just the way how Apple designed it. So the album concept in the Photos app is not a folder filing system as we know it from computers. If you would prefer to manage your photos in a folder filing system and be able to move them out of the Camera Roll to the folders, then you can try the Utiful app, which is a complementary photo library allowing for easy and fast organization of photos into folders and subfolders, separately from the Camera Roll.
