Photos not backing up to iCloud
Photos not backing up to iCloud and storage is available. If I sign out of Apple ID will I lose photos not uploaded to iCloud?
iPhone 7, iOS 14
Question marked as
Are you syncing photos to iCloud, or are you backing up your phone to iCloud? These are mutually exclusive methods of backing up your photos.
To sync, tap Settings, then your name, then iCloud and turn on the switch for Photos. Wait for them to sync, preferably over Wi-Fi because it is much faster. If you want to use cellular data enable cellular data for iCloud if you have an unlimited plan, but it will be much slower than Wi-Fi. You can check the status of the photo sync by logging in to https://icloud.com/photos.
If the switch for photos is OFF then photos will be included in an iCloud backup, but you will not be able to view them in iCloud, you will only be able to restore the entire backup to the phone.
