Photos app not showing photos

I bought a new IPhone 13 recently. I have some photos in my Files -> On My iPhone (local storage) Folder. Those photos are not showing up in Photos app. Will the Photos app can display only the iCloud Photos or is it possible to make it display phone storage photos as well? If so, Please let me know how to do it.

iPhone 13, iOS 16

ICloud Pictures aren't showing up on phone anymore Without any change on my end, all of my photos synced on icloud don't show up in the photos app anymore. They are still uploaded to the cloud, which I can see from a web browser. My phone still has icloud photos turned on, and turning that on and off doesn't seem to have helped. How can I get my pictures on icloud to show up on my phone again?

How to see the photos captured on iphone 14 pro max in Files app ? I am expecting a kind of DCIM folder or photos folder in my files app. But very worst experience where i could not see my photos in my files at all. where are they stored on my memory of internal storage withou Accessibility? Until and unless if I select a photo and save to files by browsing path, there is no other way to see all my captured photos by default in My Files ? any solution for this ?????? I am really dissatisfied by seeing this way . I can expect an answer saying security but we need our photos in My files where they should be accessible. I can see photos only on photos app. in the same way, if ai install any video player, very worst that I cant see my videos from My files in the video player, until I browse them manually. This is also a worst option ever available on ios. kindly suggest solutions for both of those to sync all my data into photos from my files and vice versa my files data to video players like mx player or vlc . How to sync? kindly release an update to enable this feature .

Hey barath84,

It sounds like you want to set up and use iCloud Photos. This guide can help you get that done: Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support

Photos should automatically upload to iCloud. If you have files that are not compatible with Photos, you can still save your files to iCloud using iCloud Drive. Here's how to set that up: Set up iCloud Drive - Apple Support

Take care.
