Curled/ crinkle leaves on chillies / sweet peppers

I'm a first time chilli/ sweet pepper grower. A few of my plants seem to have leaves that are curled or crinkles and not fully formed or open. I've got so much to learn. Any ideas?

Check under the curly bits for bugs (esp the leaf in the last photo), but that's often how the leaves grow on chili/peppers. They seem to sort themselves out as the leaf matures

Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Agree, think they will sort themselves out. The new/top leaves on my Padron peppers usually do this. It's always worse when it's very hot in the greenhouse or the soil is too dry.
