How to recover missing photos on iPhone after turning off iCloud backup

It sounds like you accidentally turned off iCloud backup for your Photos on your iPhone, and now you're missing some photos on your device. However, when you checked iCloud.com, you found that all your photos are still there.

To restore the missing photos back to your iPhone, you can follow these steps:

1. Turn On iCloud Photos: Firstly, ensure that iCloud Photos is turned on on your iPhone. This will sync your photos across all your iCloud-enabled devices. You can do this by going to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos, then toggle on "iCloud Photos."
2. Check Recently Deleted Album: Sometimes, deleted photos end up in the "Recently Deleted" album on your iPhone. Open the Photos app, tap on "Albums" at the bottom, then scroll down and check if your missing photos are in the "Recently Deleted" album. If they are, you can select them and tap "Recover" to restore them to your main photo library.
3. Restart Your iPhone: A simple restart can sometimes help in resolving sync issues with iCloud. Press and hold the side or top button and either volume button until the slider appears. Drag the slider, then wait a few seconds for your device to turn off. After that, press and hold the side or top button again until you see the Apple logo.
4. Check Storage Space: Ensure that your iPhone has enough storage space to download all the photos from iCloud. You can check this by going to Settings > General > iPhone Storage. If your device is running low on storage, you may need to delete some unused apps or files to make room for the photos.
5. Wait for Sync: Sometimes, it may take some time for iCloud to sync all your photos back to your iPhone, especially if you have a large library. Leave your iPhone connected to Wi-Fi and plugged in to charge overnight, and check again in the morning to see if all your photos have been restored.

By following these steps, you should be able to restore your missing photos back to your iPhone. If you're still experiencing issues, feel free to reach out for further assistance.
