New iPhone photos

hi I just received a new iPhone 12 and I transferred my data from my iPhone 8 to it. This iPhone seems to not be able to download all of my photos and leaves a lot of blanks in my camera roll. I was wondering if there is any reason for this happening and wondering how can I fix it so that I have all my photos? For example do I need more storage or is it an issue with the phone ? Thanks aoife

iPhone 12, iOS 14

Hi


If you are using iCloud photos, then they will not transfer from the old phone. Instead they will be downloaded from iCloud. This can take a little time.
