Since you've already checked your deleted folder, you can skip that section and start here:
If you're not using iCloud Photo Library, you can also restore from a previous backup that contains the missing photos by using these steps:Make sure iCloud Photo Library is turned on
iCloud Photo Library securely stores all your photos and videos in iCloud, so that you can access them on all your devices. If you took a photo on your iPhone but don't see it on your other devices, check your settings.
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
- Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud. If you're using iOS 10.2 or earlier, go to Settings > iCloud.
- Tap Photos.
- Turn on iCloud Photo Library.
On your Mac:
- Go to System Preferences > iCloud.
- Next to Options, click Photos.
- Select iCloud Photo Library.
After you turn on iCloud Photo Library, connect to Wi-Fi and wait a few minutes. Then look for your photos again.
Photos that you add to your device with iTunes won't stay up to date with iCloud. Get help if you have photos from iTunes.
