hello i cant find all my pictures on my icloud after i did the erase

If you were sync photos with iCloud, have you gone to Settings/Your Name, signed in with the same Apple ID, then go to iCloud Photos, and turn syncing on. The photos sync is extremely slow. It could take several days or more for the photos to sync.

Have you gone to iCloud.com/Photos using a computer browser to see if the photos are there and to check for a Recently Deleted album?

Sorry - ignore my earlier reply - I was replying to the wrong thread.
