Backup

I’m confused at how backup works. My phone says that its last Backup was today but then when I go to gallery, at the very bottom it shows “uploading X items”. So are my photos not backed up when the regular backup happens? Is it a separate backup? I have photos turned on in the backup options.

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14

Yes, iCloud backup and iCloud photos are two separate things and do not happen at the same time.
