Lost photos after replacing phone

I damaged my old phone resulting in only half the screen working. I requested the data was backed up but when I've synced my new phone I have lost all my recent photos. Is there any way of getting my photos back? As my new phone came through the insurance you have to hand in your damaged phone before they give you a new one.

Hi @Jessnightingale

 

Thanks for coming here. 

 

Did you back the data up before you received the replacement? 

 

How did you complete the back up? 

 

Thanks 🙂

Have you checked to see if they were uploaded to Google automatically?

Well I think I backed it all up through settings however half the screen was black so I'm 90% sure that all the options were ticked so it backed up photos too!

I see @Jessnightingale

 

Has the download fully completed now?

 

If so, I'm sorry, if these have not downloaded for you it seems they may not have been backed up and we would not be able to return your old phone that has been replaced.

Its a shame I couldn't do the smart switch with the new phone. Is there a way I can tell my phone to restore data again just incase it hasn't all downloaded?

Thanks,
Jess
