Will my photos still be on my phone? Is there an iCloud Photos icon?

If I turn on iCloud for photos will my photos still be on my iPhone?


Is there an icon on my homepages (iPad iPhone) to take me directly to my iCloud photos?

Earlier iPhone models

iCloud Photos on your iPhone and iPad are in the Photos app on those devices.


If you have iCloud Photos turned on, the photos on the device are the same as on iCloud, with the possible exception that some of them may be space-saving optimized versions if you have that option turned on. You view them in the Photos app on an iOS device or Mac. You can also login to icloud.com and go to the Photos app there.
