I just got a new phone and my photos are not showing up. Everything was backed up but it didn’t transfer over. What do I do?

You could upgrade your icloud storage and let the photos upload from your old phone.

Or transfer them through a mac/pc or another cloud service like google photo’s/onedrive/dropbox.


The photo’s should still be stored locally on your old phone. In case you reset the phone, they’ll still be in the back up. So you can restore the back up on your old phone and then follow the steps above.
