Need help transferring photos from iphone 13 to icloud storage

I just transferred from iphone 12 to iphone 13 successfully. However, I can’t upload my photos to the icloud even when I have it on in the settings. What am I doing wrong?

Go to Settings/[your name]/iCloud and turn on Photos. You could have done this on the 12 first, then on the 13 to migrate the photos to the 13. If you had not done it on the 12 then the photos would be in the backup you restored to the 13, and you can then sync them to iCloud as I described. Depending on how many photos you have and your Internet speed it can take a while to complete.
