How do I make all pictures I take automatically go into a different folder than the default one?

How do I get the little "Click" sound back when I take a picture? It was on by default but decided to shut itself off.

When I move images from one folder to another (there really is no "Move" option, only "Copy") and then want to delete them from the first folder, it deletes them from BOTH folders -- without any obvious choice to do otherwise.

Why is it so ridiculously impossible to find simple answers like this without resorting to asking on a forum?
 
Camera “click” I actually have no idea but you can try to turn off silent switch. Maybe it’s hidden behind that.

As for a “different folder”, there’s no “different folder” as every photo you take is crammed in photos app and it’s own sub folders.

Apple’s new file system reduces copy operation overhead by doing some black magic so copy appears to be super fast. Idk why apple decides to create a link sometimes instead of an actual copy tho.

Folders (or albums) are simply aliases (shortcuts) to the actual image in the Camera Roll. Unlike a computer, Apple does not allow you to actually move images in iOS.
