How can I view photos that have been saved to iCloud?

Hi Brent Slatten,

Thank you for posting here in Community.

It sounds like you're trying to access your iCloud photos but might be running into some confusion or difficulty—don't worry, you're not alone! Managing cloud storage can sometimes be tricky, but I'll walk you through the best way to view your saved photos.

How to View Your iCloud Photos

1. Via iPhone or iPad
   • Open the Photos app.
   • Ensure iCloud Photos is enabled by going to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud > Photos and switching it on.
   • Your photos should automatically sync and appear in your library.
2. Via Mac
   • Open the Photos app.
   • In the top menu, go to Photos > Settings (or Preferences) > iCloud and make sure iCloud Photos is turned on.
   • Your photos should sync across your Apple devices.
3. Via iCloud.com (Web Access)
   • Open your browser and go to iCloud.com.
   • Sign in with your Apple ID.
   • Click on Photos, and you’ll be able to view and download your iCloud-stored images.
4. Via Windows PC
   • Download and install iCloud for Windows from Apple’s website.
   • Open iCloud and sign in with your Apple ID.
   • Enable Photos, then open File Explorer > iCloud Photos to view synced photos.

Troubleshooting Steps if Photos Aren’t Appearing

• Check your internet connection—iCloud sync requires a stable network.
• Ensure iCloud Photos is enabled on all your devices.
• Verify that you're signed in with the correct Apple ID.
• If you recently added photos, they may take some time to sync—give it a little while.
• Restart your device if things still don’t seem to be working.

Let me know if any of these steps helped, or if you need further assistance! You've got this.
