How can I recover missing photos from my iCloud? Discovered today - 8 days later. Could recover few items deleted in last month- going back to 5th March. My wife and I share a family cloud account- seperate logins and devices. How is it possible that BOTH our accounts are gone? All Albums still there with 0 photos. Only 1 explanation- server lost data.. no way we deleted it. Even if we did- it should still be recoverable 8 days later. 10+ years gone. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

many years of icloud photo are lost I recently noticed that years of my photos from icloud photo library. They were not "DELETED" for sure. Mostly I have thousands of photo per year. Now my icloud library has no photos for some years and just 1 photo left for some other years. Specifically I lost photos upto 2017 September. On the other hand, I use Google Photo at the same time, and Google has all photos from 2002. I have 2TB icloud storage sharing with my family. Its usage has been under 500GB so far. I checked my wife's icloud photo and her account has same problem. I talked with Apple Support and they had no clue. Anyone has same problem and any idea ?
