Check if someone has access to your iPhone or your iCloud account and is trying to tease you.

Are you perhaps a member of a Shared iCloud Photos Library? Other members can move photos from your shared library to the Recently deleted, if they do not want these photos on their devices.

If you are participating in a Shared iCloud Photos Library you'd better share only a few selected photos that might be interesting for the others and not each and every photo you take, right from the camera. Disable the Setting "Your account > iCloud > Photos > Shared Library > Sharing from the Camera".
