Alright, so I’ll admit that Apple has always confused and frustrated the hell out of me, so this might be a simple fix but I somehow doubt it.

I have an iPhone 8 and have around 1,200 pictures on it. The phone itself is almost completely full. About 2-3 weeks ago almost all of my pictures suddenly disappeared for no reason…. So I logged into iCloud.com and most of them are there, however I only have 5 gigs of iCloud storage that looks almost completely full.

I just got a iPhone 12 and did the whole quick start thing to get everything switched over…

There’s about 99 of the most “recent” pictures that are showing up on my new phone, but I want all of them (which shouldnt be an issue since my old phone was 32 gigs and the new one is 64). I have no idea how to do that and am very frustrated with this apple BS at this point. I just want all my pics back without them magically disappearing.
