How do I access iCloud Photos from deceased person's iPhone? Hello, my name is Branique. I recently lost my boyfriend, Kevon, who passed away on July 7th, 2025. He was the father of my son, and many of the only photos of them together are stored in his iCloud account. I don’t have his iCloud password, and he did not set up a Legacy Contact before his passing. I would like to know the process for requesting access to his iCloud photos so I can preserve them for my son. I am located in the Bahamas and I’m prepared to provide his death certificate and any legal documents required. Could you please guide me through the steps for making this request?

Deceased loved ones iCloud Photos My ex wife recently passed and I have access to her iCloud Photos. Seeing as to how no one is paying for her extended cloud memory, how long do I have to download the pics in question before they are erased from the cloud?

Photos from icloud deleted when I synced my photos This incident happened around 2022, but I’m still curious as to seeing if there is a fix for it. Let me just give some background info first. In 2022, I was using my mom’s old iPhone as a daily, which was a 6+. The iPhone had pictures she took dating back to 2015, so I did not delete them just so there was some type of a backup. I knew that those photos were also on her iCloud, which was logged into the 6+, because when she got a new iPhone in 2021, the same photos came back in her photo gallery when she logged into her iCloud. Anyways, one time, I was doing something in the iCloud settings on the 6+, when I turned on something related to photo syncing. Keep in mind, her iCloud storage was full too. After I turned on the sync-related setting, all of the pictures she took dating back to 2015 were gone on the iPhone, and when I checked it on iCloud, they were not there as well. The photo-sync ended up deleting all of her photos, and I could not find a way to recover them. I’m not sure if I have a backup of the photos, but I was wondering if there was a way to somehow recover those photos. I honestly doubt it considering that it happened a few years ago, but I might as well try. Please let me know if there are any solutions.

If the photos were synced (iCloud Photos), use any Internet browser and log into www.icloud.com and go to the Photos app there.
