iCloud photos

Hi there, I recently updated my iCloud storage with all my photos. I then deleted them and wiped them from my old iPhone as received a new iPhone. Now I am not seeing my old photos in my iCloud, can you please help me?

Hi Justinemorelli14,

Welcome to the Apple Community,

where some of us do our best to help each other troubleshoot :)


Seems iCloud was syncing the photos from your iPhone,

until you removed them..


You may find the photos in the "Recently Deleted" folder,

(deleted items are often kept for 30 days, unless permanently deleted.)

or

You may be able to restore your photos from a back-up.
