How do I Import my google photos.

I recently moved from my google pixel to the iPhone. I have all my photos on the google photos and I pay for their storage. I want to know if there is a way to transfer all my photos from google photos to iCloud so I could have the native photos app upload in the background, you know, incase I like drown the phone or somethin... (this being because google photos cannot upload in the background). I don't want to pay for 2 storage apps and will end up using google photos if anything, but would much rather transfer all my photos if possible.

Hello shestyukaleks.

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. There's a couple of ways to transfer data from from Android device to an iOS device. There is an app called Move to iOS available int he Google Play Store that helps you transfer data including photos: Move from Android to iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

You can also manually move your photos over to your iOS device. Check out this link for guidance: Move content manually from your Android device to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Follow the steps listed under "Photos and videos". We hope this information helps you.

Pretty much that would be a perfect solution if I were simply transferring photo files from my android; but as I said, I used google photos which is a cloud service... none of my photos are on my android, they are uploaded to google photos which is highly heavily imbedded into android just at cloud in ios.

That is why my question isn't about moving from android to ios, but about moving from google photos to cloud. I know apple has a solution built into cloud where you can move all your photos to another cloud service like google photos. That is what I am looking for, but in the opposite way.
