Difficulty finding recent photo albums on iPhone and photo deletion from albums

I phone 17 saved picture albums

I have always used an iPhone to save pictures and the important ones I would create an album for quick retrieval . This new iPhone 17 , does cause me problems now in as much although I can take pictures and save them as normal and even create an album ….. To find that album again quickly does seem an issue ?? If I go to saved albums I see other albums I may have saved years ago, yet the recent ones I have done….. can’t find them easily ?? It I come across them by accident. ?

The old phones used to be great … crest an album, scroll through them in any order they were there no problem … now for some reason I can’t do that anymore ?

The other question I have been meaning to ask for some time is that If I take a picture and save it as normal to photos, then take that photo and put it in an album I have created …. If I delete the photo on saved photos, does it delete the photo in the album ??

Any suggestions appreciated .

The answer to your last question is yes.

You're not physically moving the photos to the album it points back to the picture in the photo app.
