It should be simply a matter of turning it on in your iCloud settings on your phone.


If you're running a recent version of iOS:


  1. Go to Settings
  2. Tap on your name at the top
  3. Tap on iCloud
  4. Tap on Photos
  5. Turn on iCloud Photos
  6. I recommend you select Optimize Phone Storage
  7. Tap the back to iCloud arrow in the top left


Your photos should start syncing if you're on WiFi.
