iPhone not syncing iCloud photos

[sajr]

Hello all,
I have three devices under my iCloud login; an M1 MacBook Air (Monterey 12.4), an M1 iPad Pro 10" (15.4) and an iPhone 12 (15.4). Photos are syncing perfectly across the iPad and the MacBook Air but not on the iPhone. In fact on the iPhone under the iCloud settings for Syncing with iCloud there isn't even an entry for Photos. Whereas on the MacBook and the iPad iy is there and syncing is turned on. See the iPhone setting below and the iPad. If anyone has any ideas on how to resolve this I would be very grateful.

check Settings -> Photos -> turn ON 'iCloud Photos' ?

I do not have that option in my Photos settings

hmmm, no idea myself...
A quick Google came back with this same problem description and 'a' solution: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7490455

I hope others chime in as well ;-)

Have you signed out of iCloud, restarted, and signed back in again?

Is your iPhone on iOS 15 or 16? That could be the issue. I’ve never seen the shared library option under iCloud and thought that was new to iOS 16.

It started under 15.4 and I upgraded this morning to see if that made a difference and it hasn't. I have also tried logging out of iCloud and restarting with no difference.
