iCloud Photos is very useful for easily and automatically uploading all your photos to iCloud. But how can you make the most of it if you’re using different devices? Below, we will analyze the way you can access and manage iCloud Photos, regardless of the device you are using.
Accessing iCloud Photos from your iPhone
Accessing iCloud Photos from your iPhone is a simple process. If you have activated iCloud Photos in the settings, you just need to open the Photos app. Your photos will be there, along with all the albums you have created.
Enable iCloud Photos by following the path: Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud and turn on the Photos option.
The photos displayed on your phone will likely be the same as the ones displayed in iCloud (provided you have enough storage space in iCloud, or you upgrade it).

The iCloud website might take a bit longer to open, but it allows you to access and manage iCloud photos from all devices. Go to iCloud.com, log in to your iCloud account and click on Photos.
