Q: No Photos in iCloud icon
It is my understanding that any photos it take with either my iphone of iPad are stored on icloud. Yet when I open the icloud icon on my home screen none show. Only two icons appear. They are Numbers and Pages. Shouldn't the photos appear? They do show up if I open the Photos icon on the home screen.
I am confused. Are the photos on icloud or are they stored on my device?
Thank you.
iPad Mini, iOS 9.3.5

Log on to iCloud.com from a browser on a computer and see if they are there. If not, they are not being uploaded to iCloud and there are many causes for this. If you have Photos turned on under iCloud they would be part of an iCloud backup but not visible in iCloud. If you have iCloud Photo Library turned on, they should appear on iCloud but this comes with other consequences, see here:
