I started using my new phone in october so I believe it is far to late to recover anything. I didnt delete the photos i only turned off Icloud so my old phone would stop recieving my i messages aswell as my new phone. When i did this all the photos left. I thought they would still be on the cloud but i checked today and there's nothing.
Hello ~ Is there another service you may have transferred them to…like google photos? Perhaps you sent them to friends or family? I use a little device called an iXpand as well as keeping them in several other places. I hope you are able to locate some of your pictures.
