How to recover missing photos from iCloud after turning off Photos on iPhone?

The problem with your explanation is that it was over a month that I turned off photos on my phone so it wouldn’t sync and then deleted my entire album from my phone to clear up space and haven’t until about 20 minutes before posting this that I turned it on again But almost immediately turned it back off. I’ve gone into iCloud several times in the last about two months getting photos from iCloud that we’re still in there even after turning sink on my phone off so no, it’s not a sink service. It absolutely is a back up service as that’s what it says on the phone.

You don’t turn on sinking… You turn on back up. There are directions online that tell you as long as you don’t have sync on your phone turned on that you can delete photos from your phone and it doesn’t affect iCloud because it’s not syncing.

I don’t know where you’re getting this that it’s a sinking service and not a backup service as it’s been called and named back up on the phone and in instructions ever since it’s been used.

Instructions don’t say anything about sinking, it says back up. Anytime you have instructions from Apple to erase and reinstall your phone. You’re told to back up first. And on your phone, it’s labeled as back up not sync.

if what you were saying were true within a few days to a week tops, my iCloud library would’ve been gone not over a month later.

please don’t respond again
