Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
My iphone and my iCloud photos app do not show any photos from before 2017. The same issue affects my wife. We are sure that we had photos before (we've been holding iphone/ipad for more than ten years now) and the chances that my wife AND myself have "accidentally" deleted all our photos before 2017 seems pretty low to me. Anyone having the same issue ?
iPhone SE, iOS 16
