I cloud syncing photos just disappears

Good night, I was getting a new phone because it was getting really hot. I had a lot of pictures from the last and was waiting for it to sync to iCloud however I was told I was getting the phone the next day but turned out it got pushed back to back order and so I stopped iCloud syncing and I lost all of photos. Like they just got deleted and disappeared not even to the deleted section. Do anyone know where they could have gone and how do I get them back?

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hi m1k3Yneedsh3lp,


Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We understand you're missing all of your photos. You'll want to make sure iCloud Photos is turned on.


  1. Go to Settings > [your name], then tap iCloud.
  2. Tap Photos.
  3. Turn on iCloud Photos.


You may also want to login to the iCloud website to see if your photos are visible there. If you need further assistance, contact Apple Support here: Get Support.


Take care.
