Once this is done, you can simply restore the backup to your iPhone usng iTunes or iCloud. To do this with iTunes, connect your device to the computer, open iTunes, select your device from the list of devices on the left side of the window, then select “Restore Backup” from the Summary tab. You’ll be able to select which backup file you’d like to restore from. With iCloud, simply go into Settings > General > Reset on your device and select “Erase All Content and Settings”, then follow the prompts until you get to the Apps & Data screen and select Restore from iCloud Backup.

Once this process is complete, all of the photos that were included in the backup will be restored onto your iPhone.

Troubleshooting ICloud Photos Not Showing on IPhone

If your iCloud Photos are not showing on your iPhone, tere could be a few possible causes. First, make sure that Wi-Fi is switched on and that you have an internet connection. To check this, tap Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos. If Upload to My Photo Stream is not turned on, then turn it on to ensure that your photos and videos are kept in iCloud.

If this does not resolve the issue, try signing out of iCloud and then signing back in by tapping Settings > [your name] > Sign Out. After signing back in, wait a few minutes for all of your content to be downloaded again from iCloud.

If you have recently taken new photos or videos on a different device, they may not yet have been uploaded to your iPhone due to the time it takes for them to sync across all devices. You can check if the new content has been uploaded by tapping Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos and then selecting Download and Keep Originals at the bottom of the page.

If these steps do not resolve the issue or if you need further assistance, contact Apple Support for further help.
