You can do it simply by following method of ALAssetsGroup

(void)enumerateAssetsWithOptions:(NSEnumerationOptions)options usingBlock:(ALAssetsGroupEnumerationResultsBlock)enumerationBlock;**

    applying **NSEnumerationReverse** option

    void (^assetEnumerator)(ALAsset *, NSUInteger, BOOL *) = ^(ALAsset *result, NSUInteger index, BOOL *stop)
        {
            if(result != nil)
            {

                [self.assets addObject:result];

            }
        };

        void (^assetGroupEnumerator)(ALAssetsGroup *, BOOL *) = ^(ALAssetsGroup *group, BOOL *stop)
        {
            if(group != nil)
            {
                [group setAssetsFilter:[ALAssetsFilter allPhotos]];
                [group enumerateAssetsWithOptions:NSEnumerationReverse usingBlock:assetEnumerator];
            }

        };
        ALAssetsLibraryAccessFailureBlock failureblock = ^(NSError *myerror){
            NSLog(@"error occour =%@", [myerror localizedDescription]);
        };


        assets = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
        ALAssetsLibrary *assetsLibrary = [[ALAssetsLibrary alloc] init];
        [assetsLibrary enumerateGroupsWithTypes:ALAssetsGroupSavedPhotos usingBlock:assetGroupEnumerator failureBlock:failureblock];
        [assetsLibrary release];


    **Your self.assets array will have latest images**
