It used to be, you had pictures in your Camera Roll and they sync'd to your Photostream. Once in your Photostream you could then safely delete them out of your Camera Roll. Well, after installing iOS 8.1 the Camera Roll comes back as well as Photostream. Now, if you delete photos out of your Camera Roll, they also delete out of your Photostream. This is unexpected.
Got a tip for us?

iOS 8.1 Camera Roll...not the same old Camera Roll

This is exactly why I like having a "Deleted Photos" library.
To confirm. Yes. I deleted photos from the camera roll, and they deleted from the stream, also. And obviously they did pop up in the deleted photos album.

Oh I kind of like that concept. It allows you to share photos from two devices, yet if you want to delete a photo you don't have to delete it twice.
There is also a problem with Events - as it was in 8.0/8.0.2 they are in some absolute random order. Also, we can't sync videos from iphoto event
Actually it is not strange, you just have iCloud Photo Lubrary (Beta) turned ON. If you will turn it off, there will be a camera roll. Still "all photo" behaves the very same way
Thats because you have iCloud Photo Library enabled. Either way though, if you delete a photo from All photos or camera roll, it will delete from all devices..not too happy about it.
Finally! I hated having to delete the pictures in both places and having duplicates. Glad they made this change.
I like this since it doesn't duplicate pics on my phone. I actually liked Recently Added, but this works too. It will be a little confusing for people at first.
Thanks. Was a confusing description by Apple. I'm glad. I like it the way it is now.
Did it beak the facebook photo upload for anyone else? It was showing the last 3 photos now it is sorted with all the videos first.
To differentiate where a photo originated, perhaps, and the fact that the stream is a turn on/off feature unlike the camera roll.
oh ok i gotcha. i am just so use to how it was before ios8.
its was easy keep the stuff i want on the cloud and delete from the roll so its not in two different places.
i tend to screen shot and keep alot of crap i find off twitter or the internet. lolz
Ahhhh I was going to ask about it too now another question
My photo stream vs iCloud photo library(beta) both option stores photos in iCloud...so why do we have two options?
