Thousands of pictures went missing from my iPhone. They weren't backed up in iCloud. They are also missing on Google Photos, which automatically saves all pictures taken.

2 months of photos are missing from my iPhone's camera roll I recently noticed that 2 months of photos from last summer are missing from my iPhone's camera roll. I checked iCloud, which had been recently backed up, and they are not there either. They are not in my recently deleted or hidden folders, and they are not in my iPhone's latest backup either. I was wondering how they could've disappeared without my deletion. I additionally have a lot of storage on my iPhone and iCloud, so I know storage is not the issue. These pictures are very important to me (such as my high school graduation) and I would really really like to recover them. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

How can I recover missing photos from iPhone? Hi everyone, I just realized that all my photos from the last 6 months are missing from my iPhone. I checked the "Recently Deleted" folder, but they're not there. I also looked in iCloud Photos, but I can't find them. I'm not sure if they were deleted or if there's a sync issue. Does anyone know if there's a way to recover them? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! [Re-Titled by Moderator]

If you're using My Photo Stream instead of iCloud Photos, your photos or videos might appear to be missing

See this article: My Photo Stream – Apple Support

(Eg: says: Go to Photos > Albums > My Photo Stream.)

Else:

Try Apple support's online article:

If you're missing photos or videos in the Photos app - Apple Support

And,

If you still need help, you might want to try reaching out to the Photos Support Team:

There is a "Get Support" link (at the very bottom), of their website (link below)

Photos - Official Apple Support

All the best :-)
