How do I know if my photos are backed up to iCloud? How do I access iCloud?

On your PC, go to icloud.com, sign in with your iCloud account and go into the Photos section. If I recall, if you selected the default options when setting up your phone, your photos and videos will be automatically uploaded to iCloud. However, you only get 5 GB of free cloud storage. If you want more cloud storage, you'll need to pay for it. I'm not entirely sure how iCloud/iPhone decides which photos to keep on the cloud or on the phone.

  • My iphone was just stolen, is there a way to remotely get my photos backed up on icloud? My icloud was full so my photos were not backing up. Now my phone is gone and stolen. I was wondering if I clear out my icloud would there be a way to get it to update my photos from my phone so I will still be able to have them? Also, when I go to find my iphone my device does not show up. Is there any other way to find my phone and get it back?

  • Is it possible to recover photos that aren't backed up on iCloud? I had my iPhone stolen a few weeks ago and never got a chance to back up my 900 photos onto iCloud. I bought a new phone and everything was somehow recovered except my photos. I just wanted to know if somehow it is possible to recover my photos from my old phone although I hadn't backed them up to anything. Its extremely frustrating because the only thing important to me on my phone is my camera roll.
  • How to view iTunes backed up photos and videos? I had an iPhone with lots of pictures and videos on it, and everytime I synced up with the computer i'd backup everything. I don't own an iPhone anymore, and would like a way to find the pictures and videos on the backup to be able to put on my new phone. I know if I had another iPhone, just by syncing it and pressing restore with backup, all my photos and videos would be there. Anyway to get the photos and videos just from the computer?
