Worried about iPhone backup?
So the other day my screen shorted out (I'm guessing, the issue is still undiagnosed.) iTunes on my PC says, under "This Computer," "Latest backup: (Two weeks ago). This is good news for me, but I don't quite trust it. I'm wondering if all this time it's been automatically updating like it says, even so, I have no idea where these photos are located on my computer.
After contacting Apple they have told me I need to restore my phone and see if it helps. I'm afraid of losing everything. Luckily I do have a SIM card, but I know that they only hold contacts. How do I know iTunes is correct that my photos have been backed up? How do I locate the photos? Is it safe? Will I lose them if I restore even if it says they've been backed up?
Added (1). (I have windows 10)
Added (2). I have never used iCloud backup, but under the option for iCloud backup reads "This Computer"
Have you not been using the iCloud backup?
I backup all photos by using windows exp to copy to PC then I copy to thumb drive. That way the photos I want I know are saved, other photos I just delete.

- Should i be worried about my iphone 5? I've had this iphone5 for a month now and i've only noticed now that there's a red glowing dot near the top speaker. It can only be seen in the dark. After doing some research i think its supposed to be the proximity sensor but some people say its abnormal to be seeing this? Is this a problem? Should i be worried? What's a proximity sensor anyways and how do i turn off the red dot if possible?
- Is there a way(without computer)to move my texts from my iPad to my IPhone? ICloud backup? Had to restore phone to last backup and lost texts? Hi, yesterday I had to reset my phone (IPhone 8 plus) to factory default and restore it to its last backup (April 15th). I also have an iPad mini, which everything is Synced. I got everything back on my phone (up to date) except my text messages. I'm not able to access my computer right now and have read you can get them back my backing up you messages to ICloud. Is there anything I can do to get them back on my phone (they are still on my iPad mini), without using my Mac?
