I looked in trash and was not there. My iCloud is set to back up, they are not there. They are not on my phone or on my mac! I did get an error message when on iCloud that said Apple is having a problem with your photos. I clicked on the report to Apple.

Troubleshooting Lost Photos and Videos:
Loss of data is something you would have agreed to upon opening an Apple Account. So, if the following does not work, then they are gone. That's just the way it is :(
Four Tactics to Try:
A. Start here: If you're Missing Photos or Videos in the Photos app - Apple Support
B. Check Recently Deleted:
Starting in iOS16, Recently Deleted is a location to tap in the Photos app to recover these.
C. Check iCloud, Directly:
For Photos: Go here, and see if they reside in iCloud: https://www.icloud.com/photos
D. Restore your iPhone from a Backup:
Have any backups of this iPhone prior to this occurrence? If so, restore your iPhone from one that has these photos (the most recent backup, ideally). If not, then take this as a learning experience, knowing to always back up your device for recovery purposes. Important: Back up you iPhone prior to performing this restoration, should anything go wrong from here on out.
D. Where Else to Check:

so what is your question? If you want to ask how to get them back, the answer is restore them from a backup. If you do not have a backup, they are gone.
Did you check under „recently deleted“?
