It is also good to use as a gathering tool when preparing for presentations or trainings.

That's cool! It's still a good guide for those that didn't know they could even make albums. Plus, it still works to organize your photos. If you wanted to show people photos of your kids or pets or whatever, you could put all of them in one album and then just show them the album without worrying about them seeing all your other photos. :)

I tested it and it does keep them in the camera roll sorry

I just didn't know if I was doing anything wrong, haha.

Yeah for me they were in both, and if deleted from the camera roll, they'd be deleted from everywhere. I guess you could use it for quick access to certain photos like Amy said.

The photos still stay in your camera roll too though, don't they? I made an album for wallpapers once, and they ended up in both, kind of defeating the purpose of another folder.
