No Utilities or Recently Deleted Folder on iPhone 6SE?

The phone upgraded to 15.1 yesterday. Today I took a photo then deleted it a few minutes later. I then decided I wanted it back but there is no “recently deleted folder” or “utilities” on the iPhone, the folders exist on the iPad

iPhone SE, iOS 15
