Lost pictures
How can I retrieve pictures that were backed up to the iCloud but deleted from my phone. They now appear to be deleted from the iCloud as well.

Were they backed up to the cloud by way of iCloud backups of your phone, or were they synced to the cloud using iCloud photo library?
If you were using iCloud photo library, you deleted them from the cloud when you deleted them from your phone.
If they are no longer in the recently deleted folder in photos, they're gone.

A safer way to store important pictures is to save them on your computer. There are also several sites such as Google Photos where you can archive photos.
My friend used the backup feature to save the pics. I suspected this was only for backup. Thanks for the answer.
Thank you!
