Camera roll

nounStandard termTelecom & IT

The default local storage directory for photos and videos captured on a mobile device.

The primary media gallery on a smartphone or tablet operating system where newly captured image and video files are saved. Mobile application developers must request specific operating system permissions to access or write to this directory. It serves as the local cache before files are potentially synchronized to cloud storage.
