When I click the photos app, how come it shows "recently added" albums? How come I gotta click photos (still in the photos app) to see my older pictures?

I don't know. I hate the new setup. Everything is divided by year for me, and then location. I just want ONE album with ALL my photos.

Because it makes sense.

The Photos tab shows you all your photos, naturally.

The "recently added" is an album and therefore in the albums section of your Photos app.

Photos you've shared go in the "Shared" section.

Pretty elementary.

The Whatsapp app has been noted to be broken in more than a few ways. Wait for Facebook to push an update.
