iphone does not provide a separate folder for photos taken from its camera. It has a “recents” folder that contains all the images. This is creating a problem for me for backup on cloud. I only want to backup my “camera roll” photos. But since there is no such folder, I am literally forced to either backup all photos or to manually choose each and every photo
is there a way to backup only the photos taken from the camera?
WhatsApp photos being one of the main folder that I don't want to backup. Other than that, there are folders created for 'instagram', for 'downloads'.

If I recall correctly with iCloud Photos...
iOS 12.5.3 and earlier, it is called All Photos
iOS 13 and later it is called Recents
You need to disable iCloud Photos to get back Camera Roll under Photos App.
Settings > [Tap your name] > iCloud > Photos > iCloud Photos [Disable], when you disable ensure to select "Remoe from this Device", tap remove.
All Photos will be intact in the iCloud.
Without iCloud Photos enabled you will have Camera Roll
I disabled icloud photos but I don’t see the option “remove from device”. Screenshot attached

You can't choose Photos and Videos manually for a backup.
Where did the photos other than those taken from your iPhone camera have come on your device?
