Has anyone had the issue where you see in "recent" albums photos imported from Airdrop or Instagram but in the "all photos" album you can't see or find them?

Recently any photo I download from instagram or get transfered through Airdrop is only showing in "Recents" not in Albums where all photos including instagram or Airdrop imports have always shown.

iPhone 11, iOS 17

Hi Nico_ba,


In the Photos album on your iPhone, photos in the Recent album goes by the date it was saved. Photos in the All Photos album goes by the date the photo was taken based on the metadata. You can take a look at when the image says it was taken by following Look up what's in a photo with your iPhone or iPad.

Take care.
