It is turned on. The only pictures I have are ones from 2019 and earlier. But my phone was last back up on November 20th 2021 so I would only be missing a couple weeks worth of photos. But instead I got nothing

You could upgrade your icloud storage and let the photos upload from your old phone.

Or transfer them through a mac/pc or another cloud service like google photo’s/onedrive/dropbox.


The photo’s should still be stored locally on your old phone. In case you reset the phone, they’ll still be in the back up. So you can restore the back up on your old phone and then follow the steps above.
