"How can I recover my iCloud missing photos?: Hi, I’ve lost about 6 months of photos from iCloud — from the end of February 2024 to mid-August 2024. I honestly have no idea where the photos have gone — I haven’t deleted them myself, and they were definitely there before. Does anyone know how I can find or recover them? I’d really appreciate any help or advice!"

Lost iCloud Photos:
Four Tactics to Try:
A. Start here: If you're Missing Photos or Videos in the Photos app - Apple Support
B. Check iCloud Directly:
See if they reside in iCloud Photos. Log in here: https://www.icloud.com/photos
C. Use a Time Machine Backup:
Did you backup your Mac, recently? If so, then restore your Mac from that. You'd backup you Mac prior to doing so, and then restore your data from the backup you just created, through use of Migration Assistant.
D. Where Else to Check:
- PC
- PDA
- eMail
- Mac Device
- Cloud Storage
- Android Phone
- USB Flash Drive
- External Hard drive
