iCloud photo sync option not available

When I go into Settings - iCloud - photos, I only see an option for shared albums and I don’t see an option to sync my photos to iCloud. Any idea why?


iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 15

Howdy ScottACar,


It sounds like you are missing some iCloud options. We know how important this is for you, and you’re in the right place to find a resolution.


Have you tried a normal restart of the device? This simple step can resolve issues like this:

If still having issues after the restart, then please update the device to the latest OS version 16.4.1. Then test it to see if the issue has been resolved. If you're still having the issue please let us know. We'll be here for you.


As with any update, it's always a good idea to create a backup beforehand:
