Lost 5000 photos/videos
Hi. I have an IPhone XR and I have been backing up my phone on my husbands iCloud through family sharing.
recently I noticed almost 5000 photos and videos missing on my phone. And I checked recently deleted but did not find them there either. I tried to backtrack if I had made any changes recently to my iPhone and related issues. I noticed the below 2 events
- my data was a lot and so our shared iCloud space was getting full and one day my husband stopped the family sharing so that I can buy my own iCloud space so as to accommodate for my large data. And therefore I bought my own 200gb iCloud to accommodate my 170Gb data
- i was looking through my old videos and noticed the older videos were taking ages to load so I googled why that was happening and I changed my iCloud photos setting from ‘ optimize iPhone storage’ to ‘download and keep originals’
these are the only 2 events that happened
can any of the above events make me to lose 5000 photos
if yes how can I recover them?
if no then how did I lose 5000 images overnight randomly?/and they are not in the recently deleted photos either
thanks in advance
iPhone XR, iOS 13
