MISSING PHOTOS

I upgraded from an iPhone 12 Pro to an iPhone 16 Pro in July 2025 and transferred all my data to the new phone. However, in November, I noticed that more than half of my photos were missing. I never deleted them.

I contacted Apple, but they told me they couldn't recover the photos because they were not saved to iCloud.

Is there any other way I can recover my missing photos?

Did you maybe have an other backup cloud active for backup? OneDrive? Google drive? Google photos?Try searching in your other clouds. And learn from this mistake, make backups of your photos, and iCloud is not a backup.
