Icloud for old photos

I did not have a suffiecient icloud plan, so I did not include photos to icloud. Now I increased my icloud storage. How can I upload my 22 thousand photos to icloud?

Thank you.

Uploading iPhone's Photos and Albums:


A. Enable Photos in iCloud Settings:

Is Photos enabled in iCloud Settings on this iPhone? If so, enable Photos in iCloud.

Enabling iCloud Photos on an iPhone:

  1. Go to: Settings
  2. Tap: Your Name (Top Item)
  3. Tap: iCloud

Tap: Photos (so that it is green)


B. Purchased Enough Storage?

A high-resolution photo would be up to 4MB --with there being 22,000 photos, you need 88GB at max. So, did you purchase enough space?


C. Wait it Out:

Keeping your iPhone plugged in, and powered on, it will take a long time time to upload. So, you'd have to wait a bit, I'm sure.
