Recover deleted photos

Hi,

A few days ago I deleted some of my photos from library. They were in Icloud at that time. Now they are deleted from icloud. How can I restore them?

iPhone 8, iOS 14

As long as you are using iCloud Photos, the library on your iPhone will always be identical to the library in iCloud. The main purpose of iCloud Photos is to keep your photos identical on iCloud and all your devices. If you delete a photo in Photos on your iPhone, it will be deleted from iCloud and all your other synced devices as well.

I hope you did not yet empty the Recently Deleted album. It is the only place where you can recover deleted photos up to thirty days after you deleted them.
