'If you're missing photos or videos in the Photos app' on a mobile device, click here --> https://support.apple.com/HT205912

- Check your Recently Deleted folder

- Make sure that iCloud Photos is turned on

- Sign in with the same Apple ID

- Unhide your photos



If you were not using iCloud photos to sync your photographs then they may still be stored on another device or as part of a backup. You can restore the backup ( https://support.apple.com/HT204184 ) to recover the photos but doing this will require erasing your device and restoring everything back to the time when you made that backup.
