Start photo upload to iCloud

Hello,


I have an iPhone 7 (256gb) that I just replaced with an iPhone 11 Pro (56gb).


The iPhone 7 contains more photos than I can store on my new iPhone 11 Pro, so I upgraded my iCloud storage to 200gb.


I then turned on photos for iCloud storage on my iPhone 7.


However, the iPhone 7 does not upload any of the photos to iCloud. How do I start the upload?


My iCloud settings for photos on my iPhone 7 are:


iCloud Photos: ON

Optimize iPhone Storage: OFF

Download and Keep Originals: ON

Upload to My Photo Stream: ON

Shared Albums: OFF


Best,

Kasper

iPhone 7

Is the iPhone 7 plugged in to power and connected to WiFi? If you're not getting any error messages/notifications, e.g. being out of storage, then allow the device to sit for a while and sync.
