Windows 10: Can Your Phone app find the most recent photos?

I use OfficeLens to take photos, which I send to the PC using Your Phone app. This app is supposed to show the most recent photos, I know that. However Your Phone doesn’t show the most recent photos, it only shows photos I take with the camera app even though I will save these photos to my phone's Gallery in OfficeLens. Why is it so?

I think I'll put a list of people's favourite apps in the OP, starting with my own until I get some suggestions, but you can take a look at the Windows Phone app store at the top apps to see what's popular http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store

Supported phones for Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview


Your list confirms my phone is eligible, Lumia 521. The windows Insider App fails after ~ 15 seconds, restores data and gives me error 80073cf9. I trouble shot this and went thru all the steps mentioned on several websites including MS without any luck. Short of a hard reset, this is where I am now. Suggestions appreciated.
