my photos never backed up

so I got the new iPhone 11 for my birthday and last night I tried to back everything up to iCloud. I didn’t have a lot of storage so my mom bought me more iCloud storage so everything would upload. It’s now the morning and I checked my new phone and everything but my photos are backed up. my last picture is from January so that’s almost 7 months of memories gone. I even have pictures that I deleted, in my phone and it says I have 1,186 photos right now and before I had 900 because I deleted a bunch of stuff to clear storage. i backed up my phone and even bought more iCloud storage so is there any way I can get my pictures back?

iPhone 11, iOS 13

If you delete Photos from iPhone and had iCloud Photos turned On then all your Photos from iCloud is gone too.


What does iCloud back up? - Apple Support

iCloud backup doesn’t include information that are synced and stored in iCloud, like Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Mail, Notes, Voice Memos, shared photos, iCloud Photos*, Health data, call history, and files you store in iCloud Drive.

*-If you had turned on iCloud Photos, your content is automatically stored in iCloud.
