Hi, my son broke my phone, now it's disabled, I got another phone, I'm using my old iCloud, but when I backed up the photos didn't come back, how do I take all my photos? I hope I consider my request, I am waiting for your reply, thank you and have a good evening.

It's unlikely you'll be able to retrieve your photos from the old device. If you backed up your device, you can restore from that backup. If you use iCloud photos, the photos will download once you log into iCloud and enable iCloud photos (Settings > photos).

This is just a longer and more fully documented version of what you were advised in an earlier post:


'If you're missing photos or videos in the Photos app' on a mobile device, click here --> https://support.apple.com/HT205912

- Check your Recently Deleted folder

- Make sure that iCloud Photos is turned on

- Sign in with the same Apple ID

- Unhide your photos


If you were not using iCloud Photos then you will have to see if they are part of a backup you made:
