Hi judeandersonn,


You mentioned that you signed out of your Apple ID when you photos disappear. After signing back in, has iCloud Photos been enabled again? Enabling iCloud Photos will allow your photos to sync back to your iPhone. You can go to Settings > Photos > iCloud Photos to enable it.


Check out some additional information about missing photos here: If you're missing photos or videos in the Photos app.


Hope that help!
