iCloud Photo Library

If I have all my photos in my iCloud Photo Libray, BUT I deleted all my photos off my phone.

Is there a way to get a few photos from my iCloud Photo Library back on my phone?

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 9.1

If you have iCloud Photo Library turned on in your phone and you delete any photos, they are also deleted from iCloud and from any other device that you have connected to that iCloud Photo Library.


Hopefully you deleted them recently (less than 30 to 40 days ago) and they are still in your Recently Deleted album. You can access that on your phone by opening the Photos app, tapping Albums at the bottom of the screen, and then tap the Recently Deleted album. If they are still there you can select them and then tap Recover at the bottom of the screen.
