2 IPad Pros 2017 running IOS 17.7.8

Each one has limited Photos Utilities options, one has only recently deleted, other has recently deleted and duplicates. Neither has Hide or any other option.

How do I get the full options list on each?

Can’t Hide a photo either as the share option menu doesn’t include Hide?

Stumped!!!!

Any help appreciated.

Cheers

iPad Pro, iPadOS 17

I no longer have an iPad running any version of iPadOS 17, but I'm pretty sure that both Recently Deleted and Duplicates were visible only when they had content. That is, Recently Deleted was not shown until items had been deleted (and not expired or permanently deleted) and Duplicates was not shown until a full duplicate detection pass had completed and found duplicate items.

I don't know where 17.7.8 on an iPad puts the Hide command. Sorry.

iOS 17 Photos missing Utilities options, eg hide
