iCloud-> and make sure Photo Library enabled and Optimize iPhone Storage is checked.

pictures/albums were removed from the phone. But it may take a few minutes for
everything to download again. I have over 2k photos and 15+ albums so it took a

Much help would be appreciated.
Walked away for a bit , turned the phone back on, all my images have retired and can be shared/send fabulous, thanks.
It actually deleted all of my pics, it’s been 5 days and I only have 6 of the 100+ pictures.
I suppose I will have to transfer everything over to Google Drive, which had a nice Photo app.
