I accidentally deleted 2 photos from Facebook yesterday and need to find them in my iCloud. The photo was taken on 7-21-14. I can’t find it in my photos or google photos because it was from 2014 but feel it must be somewhere in the cloud. How can I find it? Please help as these photos are extremely important to me.
You can log into your iCloud account in your web browser by going to iCloud.com and signing in then there should be a “photos” app or icon you can click to get into them, but you’ll want to make sure you go into your phone settings then click on your Apple account/profile at the top then into iCloud then scroll to the bottom and make sure you have the “access iCloud data on the web” option toggled on :)

Okay, so Facebook was irrelevant, and your question is about how you can find a photo from a specified date in the iPhone photos app?
In Photos app, if there is text or an identified person included in the photo, search for that.
Otherwise, tap the Months or Years button at the bottom if your iPhone Photos app display of the photo library view, and then scroll to when you think the photo was taken, and then select back to days and scroll and look. Two-finger pinch and zoom works here to increase or decrease the number of photos you’re looking at here at once, too.
You are not going to be able to recover anything from 10 years ago. When you delete photos on your phone, they are deleted from the cloud as well.
Old backups get deleted as new ones are created.
If the Facebook webpage is not protected-access and is accessible to all, then the Internet Archive Archive.org may have it archived.
But I didn’t delete it from my phone, I deleted it from Facebook.
I deleted a photo on Facebook accidentally and need to recover the photo from my iCloud. How can I find the photo? I know the date I took the picture was on 7/21/14
