Access and view iCloud Photos

When you're signed into iCloud, you can use the Photos app to view your photos and videos on any device.

All of your photos on all of your devices

iCloud Photos works seamlessly with the Photos app to keep your photos and videos securely stored in iCloud and up to date on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and on iCloud.com. If you take a photo on your iPhone, for example, you can see that same photo on your other devices and on iCloud.com, too.

How to access iCloud Photos

1. On any device, open the Photos app.

2. On your iPhone or iPad, scroll down to see content sorted by Recent Days, People & Pets, Shared Albums*, Media Types, and more. On Mac, view the list in the sidebar.
