Q: iPhone 6 restore from iCloud backup never repopulates the same number of photos
My daughter one day accidentally erased my iPhone 6 by putting in the passcode wrong 5 times in a row. When I restored from the iCloud backup from earlier in the day, it told me it couldn't restore everything from it. Confused I checked my phone and found one of the apps missing from one of my folders. In the meantime, I had seen how many photos I had at the time. I restored again to see if I could get all of the apps back correctly this time. The same app did not recover, along with another one this time. However, the big thing was the picture count was not the same either as the previous restore's count. Also, the Video folder shows a count of 131, but when I select Cameta Roll it tells me I have 133. How can I refresh just the Photo app's auto sort to see if they all come back, and more importantly, why does an iCloud restore always seem to fail to download everything it contains from a previous backup?
iPhone 6, iOS 9.3.3
