iCloud

Hello,

I bought a new phone, when I signed in into my Apple ID all the photos from my icloud appeared on my phone . I deleted them from the phone since I knew that even if you delete this from your phone it stays in iCloud anyway , this is what iCloud for , isn’t it ??! but once It has been deleted from the phone , I have noticed that everything has been deleted from iCloud as well . It’s a huge problem for me , can We somehow solve it ??


thank you in advance!

About Deleting Photos:

Sure these were downloaded? If not, then they were deleted directly off of iCloud.


Performing Photo Recovery:


I. Enable Photos and Contacts in iCloud:

On the iPhones, enable Contacts in iCloud.

On the iPhone:

  1. Go to: Settings
  2. Tap: Your Name (Top Item)
  3. Tap: iCloud
  4. Tap: Photos (so that it is green)
  5. Tap: Contacts (so that it is green)


II. Troubleshooting Deleted Photos:

Three Things to Try:

A. Start here: If you're Missing Photos or Videos in the Photos App - Apple Support

B. Check iCloud, Directly:

Go here, and see if they reside in iCloudhttps://www.icloud.com/photos

C. Where Else to Check:

  1. PC
  2. PDA
  3. eMail
  4. Mac Device
  5. Cloud Storage
  6. Android Phone
  7. USB Flash Drive
