git will give you album data with the help of getAlbum method , and get the media with album name,

e.g type /// SmartAlbum for ios /// Album fro android

getAllAlbum(type) will help you get the Media

  const getAllAlbum = async (type: string) => {
  const data = await CameraRoll.getAlbums({
    assetType: 'All',
    albumType: IOS ? type : 'All',
  });
  const promises = data.map((elem: any) => {
    return getDataByAlbum(elem, type);
  });
  return await Promise.all(promises);
};

  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    let result = CameraRoll.getPhotos({
      first: data.count,
      assetType: 'All',
      groupName: data.title,
      include: [
        'fileSize',
        'imageSize',
        'playableDuration',
        'location',
        'filename',
      ],
      groupTypes: IOS ? type : 'All',
    }).then(res => {
      const photos = res.edges;
      let groups: any = Array.from(
        new Set(photos.map(photo => photo.node.image)),
      ).map((item: any, index: any) => {
        const fileEx = item?.filename?.split('.').pop();
        return {
          ...item,
          type: extensionCheck(String(fileEx).toLowerCase()),
          uri: IOS
            ? `assets-library://asset/asset.${String(
                fileEx,
              ).toLowerCase()}?id=${item?.uri.slice(5, 41)}&ext=${String(
                fileEx,
              ).toLowerCase()}`
            : item.uri,
        };
      });
      return (
        groups && {
          title: data.title,
          count: data.count,
          data: groups,
        }
      );
    });
    resolve(result);
  });
};
