Lost Photos after Factory Re-Set

Hi. My iphone was performing really slow so I gave it a factory re-set to start over. Before doing so I thought I had 'backed' my photos up to Google Photos - to which I have now realised they were only 'synched'. I have thus lost all of my photos from 2017-2020. My photos were not backed up via iTunes, and they are also not appearing on iCloud Photos. Does anyone have any advice for recovering these photos?

Thanks so much!

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]
