How do I see the photos in my iCloud on my iPhone 6S? I do not see an icon in the Photo app. I can access the iCloud photos on my PC.

I do not see a way to access the photos in my iCloud in the Photo app on my iPhone 6S. I can access the photos in the iCloud via my PC. How do I access the photos on my iPhone 6S?

When you turn on iCloud Photo Library it doesn't give an icon to access iCloud -- it syncs the photos themselves from iCloud Photos to your phone and vice versa.


Trying to state it another way:

iCloud Photo Library automatically syncs photos between all devices where it is turned on and the Photos app at https://www.icloud.com/

The photos will be on your phone, on iCloud, and on any other device where iCloud Photo Library is turned on.

Maybe you should provide more details.


If you simply had pictures on your 6s, turned on iCloud Photo Library and can now see them on your computer by logging in to https://www.icloud.com/ and going to the Photos app there -- that is all you should expect. The photos are on iCloud and they are still in the Photos app on your phone. That is all that is expected to happen. There is no iCloud icon or listing expected on your phone.
