How to access and view iCloud Photos
When you store and sync your photos in iCloud, you can view your iCloud Photos in the Photos app on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV or Apple Vision Pro, and on icloud.com.
How iCloud Photos works
iCloud Photos keeps every photo and video you take in iCloud, so you can access your library from any device, at any time – just open the Photos app. Changes you make on one device change on your other devices too. If you take a photo on your iPhone, for example, you can see that same photo on your iPad, Mac, Apple TV, Apple Vision Pro, on icloud.com or on a Windows PC.
How to access iCloud Photos
Sign in to iCloud with your Apple Account on all of your devices.
Turn on iCloud Photos on every device where you want to view your photos. Need to set up iCloud Photos on your PC?
On any device, open the Photos app.
