My photos aren't saving to my camera roll?

I just upgraded from the iPhone 4 to the iPhone 5S and my iCloud didn't switch over my numbers, photos, messages, anything (I'm not worried about that right now). But I put my iCloud account on my iPhone 5S and I shared all my photos from my iPhone 4 through a stream on iCloud and then I just saved it to my iPhone 5S from there. Well my pictures that I saved all went into a weird order everything is out of order date-wise and now when I take a picture with my camera it will show it in the little left corner box but when I push it my pictures that I take aren't saving to the camera roll. I'm a college student so I don't really have the time, money, or the car to get to an Apple store and this is really frustrating! I went to something tonight and took pictures of my friends and I thinking they would be saved and now that I'm back in my dorm room I literally have none of them. Can somebody Please help me? Is there an option in my settings I have off or something? I'm literally desperate for an answer please help.

Your iphone might be defective. Because it should be saving to cam roll there's no setting to change that so you might have to go in a apple store if you want your iphone to work properly.

  • Will restoring from a backup restore my camera roll photos? I did a restore on my iPhone and I forgot to save the pictures of the camera roll and now they are basically gone. If I right click the iPhone on iTunes and click on restore from backup there's the option to pick the backup I want and there's the backup from before the restore. So if I restore from that backup will my photos be restored to my camera roll?
  • Why does my iphone no longer save photos to my camera roll? Ever since I had updated my phone to ios 6, i noticed that it no longer saved photos to my camera roll. If I take a picture on Instagram, it will not automatically save it to my camera roll as it used to do, nor does it save any image I want to save from Facebook. It will, however, still save a photo that I take from the phone's camera. It somehow only won't save photos when it is taken through another app or from another source. What can I do to fix this?
