Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
I want to upgrade my iCloud as my new pictures and videos are on my phone and iPad but do not show in iCloud: if I upgrade will it pull in already taken photos from several months back?
Also, my iPad and iPhone are synced together. Will all pictures come in regardless of which device I use to upgrade to the iCloud? They both are under my same Apple ID.
