Q: How do I restore pictures deleted from updating to IOS8?

I had over 800 pictures and now only 75 are left after updating my phone. I would like to know how to get those pictures back.

iPhone 5, iOS 8

    Hello evansn1

     

    Take a look to see if you have back up in iTunes or in iCloud. If you do, then you can put that data back on your iPhone and it will replace what is currently on your iPhone with that back up.

     

    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

    Your photos should still be on your phone.  With iOS 8 there is no My Photo Stream or Camera Roll any more.  The MPS has been replaced with the Recent Activity album.

     

    The CR is replaced by the Collections mode.  The closest we can get to the Camera Roll is to turn off the Summarize Photos feature in the Settings/Photos & Camera pane and view the photos in the Collections/Moments window.

    The photos will be in chronological order when scrolled up from the bottom of the window.

    The Recent Activity album is showing the photos added in the last 30 days going back to 8/20 (today being 9/18).  In iPhoto on a Mac the My Photo Stream is showing more like 31 days, 8/19 to today, 8/20. It must be how the two devices calculate the last 30 days.

     

    WARNING:  If you use iTunes to sync photos between your iPhone or iPad and your Mac do not activate the iCloud Drive. Doing so will kill the capability of using iTunes to sync with your mobile device and disable Documents & Data syncing for your iCloud account on OS X Mavericks and earlier Macs, as well as iOS 7 and earlier devices.
