If you went to www.icloud.com and signed in with your Apple ID and Password and you did not find your photos there, this means you didn't sync photos with iCloud. So, if your iPhone is destroyed, the ONLY hope you have for getting your photos back is if you routinely backed up your iPhone. If you didn't backup your iPhone, your photos are gone as there is no place to get them back from. If you did routinely backup your iPhone, when you get a new iPhone, you'll be able to set up that new iPhone from your most recent backup.


The time to worry about NOT losing data is before something bad happens.
