Same problem here, I have a question. After removing the device from your list on iCloud.com, you said that you, "restore my phone. then set my phone as new phone."

Do you mean that you...

-Backed up your phone to iTunes

-Then did a full 'Erase All Content and Settings' from the phone

-Then restored the phone via iTunes as a new phone

-Then reloaded everything from your old iCloud account? Or new iCloud account?


Or am I misinterpreting? Please clarify.


Thanks!

I finally figure out how to fix this, the problem is with the icloud. I make another icloud account and try it, the option is there..

then I go change to my older icloud it came back with no option to icloud photo library.

and this is how i fix it. I need to sign out my iCloud account from my device. go to icloud.com. open my setting and go to 'my device', then remove my iphone 6 device. I choose the x blue mark, not the lost or sold option.

after my device remove, then I restore my phone. then set my phone as new phone. sign in my icloud then go to setting>icloud>photos and the option for icloud photo library not missing again.
