"Recents" Photo Folder not showing every picture?

My IPhone 14 used to show every picture taken in a "Recents" folder, but now it isn't showing every picture.

I don't have any filters set and iCloud is disabled. Its set to include photos shared from Messages (and is actually showing *more* of those photos than the photos I actually took with the iPhone itself).

Is this a known glitch, and is there a way to fix it? Is the phone intentional filtering/curating which photos appear in the Recents folder, and if so is there a way to disable this filtering?

When you add photos to your Shared Library, they are removed from your personal Library.

You may want to check the Settings on your iPhone, if you have set it to share the photos straight from the Camera, as described here: (How to use iCloud Shared Photo Library - Apple Support)

In that case you will be seeing new photos only in your shared library, not in your personal library.

Go to Settings > Photos, then tap Shared Library. Tap Sharing from Camera and make sure it's not turned on.
