Missing photos

A family member recently (in the last few days) bought the 50GB option on iCloud and, since it’s shared with family, all my photos synced on it. The problem is, half of them are now missing. Literally vanished, they aren’t deleted, they’re not in some album, they’re just gone. To make things worse, it says that all my photos are on iCloud which means the few missing thousands are not even on the cloud. Can anyone help?? I seriously don’t know what to do

The original source is literally that same phone… And no, I didn’t do anything to make them disappear or delete them.

When you enabled iCloud Photos, your device began to sync with iCloud. Anything in iCloud will also be on your device. Photos do not erase or disappear without being acted upon. Check the Recently Deleted album to see if anything can be recovered. Otherwise, you’ll need to restore from your backups or original sources.
