How do I restore my photos in iCloud

I recently purchase another iPhone 6s as the other one will not charge nor turn on. How do I restore all the photos from the non-working iPhone?

Hello!


If your were syncing your photos to iCloud Photo Library, then you will just need to sign into your Apple ID in Settings > iCloud on your new iPhone and enable iCloud Photo Library. They should automatically start to come over if you are connected to Wi-Fi and your charger.


If iCloud Photo Library was disabled and you backed up to iCloud, then you can restore your iCloud backup: HT204184
