“I got a new iPhone 11 and want to restore photos from iCloud. I have saved photos on my iPhone 8 to iCloud but I wrongly delete some photos on it so can I recover photos from iCloud? I would thank you a lot.”
You might have a lot of photos about your old memory so they should not be lost in any way. Backing up your photos is very important. You could retrieve lost photos after bad things happen. To make it easier to save iPhone photos, iCloud is added into iPhone. You could backup iPhone photos to iCloud and restore photos from iCloud with Internet connected. iCloud photos could be recovered to this iPhone or synced to another Apple device. If you think it is not so convenient to use cloud tool, you could use another tool to backup iPhone photos to computer.
You have 5GB of free storage in iCloud. To restore photos from iCloud, you should do:
Step 1. Go to iPhone Settings > tap [your name]
Step 2. Select iCloud > enter Photos
Step 3. Toggle on iCloud Photos.
You should wait patiently. iPhone would download all the pictures to your iPhone and the speed of your Internet would decide how long it takes to complete it. If you toggle on iCloud Photos on your every device signed in the same ID, all the photos would be uploaded to iCloud and synced to every device. What happens when you delete iCloud photos? If you delete any of the photos in Photos app on iPhone, you would be informed that This photo will be deleted from iCloud Photos on all your devices. If you want to view iCloud photos or retrieve deleted photos, the next part would give you the answer.
Your photos might be saved in your iCloud backup. If you created iPhone backup before uploading photos to iCloud, all your photos would be saved in that backup. To restore photos from iCloud backup, you should do:

Step 3. Restart iPhone > select Restore from iCloud Backup
Tips: You would erase everything on this iPhone before using iCloud backup to restore photos. You should keep Wi-Fi connected during restoration. If you are not sure whether your photos are saved in that backup, download iCloud backup to PC to check your photos.
If you delete your iCloud photos on iPhone, but regret after several days, you could retrieve those deleted photos on iPhone or the site of iCloud, but you should only get them back in 30 days.
