Once your iCloud backup is enabled, open the Photos app on your iPhone. You should see a banner at the top of the page that says “Restore from iCloud”. Tap on this banner to continue.

Step 3: Select Photos to Restore

The Photos app will now show you a list of backups that are stored in iCloud. Select the backup you want to restore from, then tap “Restore”.

Step 4: Confirm Restore

You will then be asked to confirm that you want to restore the selected photos. Tap “Restore” to continue.

Step 5: Wait for Photos to Restore

Once you have confirmed the restore, the photos will begin to download from iCloud to your iPhone. This process may take some time, so be patient and wait for the photos to finish downloading.

Step 6: View Your Photos

Once the photos have finished downloading, you can view them in the Photos app. They will be listed in the “Recently Added” section of the app.

Restoring photos from iCloud to your iPhone is a straightforward process, but it can take some time depending on the size of the backup you are restoring. Thankfully, iCloud makes it easy to keep your photos safe and secure and to restore them whenever you need to.
