All the photos on my phone went to the backup file. I have no photos to share on the cloud. How do I retreave my photos from the backup files.

If you backed up your phone, and do not use iCloud photos, your photos should be in your backup. They wouldn't be removed from your device unless you deleted them. You could reset your device and restore using your backup.


If your photos are synced to iCloud, visit iCloud.com/photos to see what photos are synced. Then enable iCloud photos (settings > photos).
