Vanished photos

iPhone XR

Just noticed recently that a few years worth of photos have disappeared from my library, Im certain they weren’t deleted. I’ve tried all the recommendations that apple provides to no avail. My hope is that they are out there in “picture purgatory” and can be restored somehow. Does anyone have any experience with this? Also, the missing photos were not at the beginning or the end of my photo stream, it’s a chunk of years from in the middle. Any tips or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

iCloud photos missing on all Apple devices Nine months photos just disappeared from icloud, gone from all devices. Not deleted by me, not hidden, same icould account all devices. Apple support don't know why and can't rescue them. It is photos from June last year to March this year, so not even resent photos. I thought I could trust iCloud as a safe back-up solution, that I pay for every month. But apparently not. Anyone else with the same experience? [Re-Titled by Moderator]
