Missing photos

I had photos that I took and now they at are missing. Like they were deleted but I didn't delete them. How can I get them back? These photos were taken recently (like a week ago). I have not done a back up on my phone. But the phone does it one it's own every night.

Good morning epickens00,

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

I understand you are missing some photos that you took recently.

I have not done a back up on my phone. But the phone does it one it's own every night.

I am not sure what you mean by this. If in your iCloud settings you have a backup enabled, then you have a backup of these photos and you can restore your device from the backup if necessary.

Hi epickens00,

If the answers to all of my questions are "yes" then that means the only place you are not seeing these images is in My Photo Stream? My Photo Stream is separate from iCloud, so you should be able to see the images at www.icloud.com or on your device in the Photos app. Unless you ran out of storage space on your iPhone or in iCloud, the images should be there. If you don't see them, look in the Recently Deleted folder at www.icloud.com .

Take care.
