This module was created when the CameraRoll was split out from the core of React Native. To migrate to this module you need to follow the installation instructions above and then change you imports from:
```javascript
import { CameraRoll } from "react-native";
```
to:
```javascript
import CameraRoll from "@react-native-community/cameraroll";
`CameraRoll` provides access to the local camera roll or photo library.
### Permissions
The user's permission is required in order to access the Camera Roll on devices running iOS 10 or later. Add the `NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription` key in your `Info.plist` with a string that describes how your app will use this data. This key will appear as `Privacy - Photo Library Usage Description` in Xcode.
If you are targeting devices running iOS 11 or later, you will also need to add the `NSPhotoLibraryAddUsageDescription` key in your `Info.plist`. Use this key to define a string that describes how your app will use this data. By adding this key to your `Info.plist`, you will be able to request write-only access permission from the user. If you try to save to the camera roll without this permission, your app will exit.
Saves the photo or video of a particular type to an album. This function works the same as `saveToCameraRoll`, but it allows to specify a particular album you want to store the asset to.
On Android, the tag must be a local image or video URI, such as `"file:///sdcard/img.png"`.
On iOS, the tag can be any image URI (including local, remote asset-library and base64 data URIs) or a local video file URI (remote or data URIs are not supported for saving video at this time).
If the tag has a file extension of .mov or .mp4, it will be inferred as a video. Otherwise it will be treated as a photo. To override the automatic choice, you can pass an optional `type` parameter that must be one of 'photo' or 'video'.
On Android, the uri must be a local image or video URI, such as `"file:///sdcard/img.png"`.
On iOS, the uri can be any image URI (including local, remote asset-library and base64 data URIs) or a local video file URI. The user is presented with a dialog box that shows them the asset(s) and asks them to confirm deletion. This is not able to be bypassed as per Apple Developer guidelines.
Returns a Promise which will resolve when the deletion request is completed, or reject if there is a problem during the deletion. On iOS the user is able to cancel the deletion request, which causes a rejection, while on Android the rejection will be due to a system error.
