can’t get my pictures back, i don’t know where to find them

Hi FallenNutTree,

Welcome to the Apple Community.

If it is less than 30 days since Photos disappeared

You might want check the "Recently Deleted" folder:

ie: iCloud: https://www.icloud.com/photos

And

If you're missing photos or videos in the Photos app

What's the difference between device storage and iCloud storage?

NB: "your device can fill up and run out of storage".

iCloud syncs everything across devices that are enabled:

Archive or make copies of the information you store in iCloud

Use iCloud Photos on iPhone
