After upgrade to 15.0.1, my photos count of iCloud and Mac OS (MacBook Pro 17" 2010 and MacBook Pro 13" 2012 is 83 photos and 3 videos less than iOS iPhone 12 & iPad Air 2. I have unchecked and checked Photos in settings for iCloud on both iOS and Mac OS. I have searched message boards for issues with iOS 15.0.1 and found only one similar post but no solution.
iPhone 12, iOS 15
I stumbled across a solution to my issue. Apparently 15.0.1 treats photos or videos that are received via text message as a shared photo or video. Those items will become part of the iOS device library that you receive the text message on. However those photos and videos will not automatically go to iCloud unless the shareable item is saved in the shareable folders in the "For You" tab. Now I have the same count of photos and videos on iCloud, MacOS, and iOS devices.
