A while back I wanted to look at my pictures on my I-phone. Noticed that a bunch of them disappeared and wasn't happy. I got on the computer and they were under a folder called ICloud Photos. Therefore, I am assuming that after a certain amount of time your pictures go into the cloud which I basically know nothing about. My question is how the heck can I get those pictures back on my phone??? TIA

The photos on the phone and computer should match, did you accidently delete them on your phone?

First I should divulge that I don’t use a laptop any more and have mostly forgotten how.
Can you right click on the iCloud folder and move the pictures out of the folder?
I will go to google and look up about the cloud.
In settings on my iPhone, I have chosen not to store photos in iCloud because I don’t want the extra charge for storage.

I definitely did not delete them as they were vacation pictures. Almost wish I had then that would answer my question - lol.

I tried to do this last night but the pictures still have not reappeared on my I-Phone. Thanks for trying to help.
If anyone has any other suggestions please let me know.

After you perform the suggested steps, do a re-start of your iPhone.
Last week I did a similar operation with my iPad, but did not see results until I did the re-start. My problem was contacts, not photos, but I believe the principle is the same.

it's not that much for extra storage actually b/c I looked at it.
but an alternative is one of those little drives to take the pix off your phone to store them safely
