Hi! My iPhone went dead today and I had to reinstall it from factory settings. I then restored it from iCloud and only just noticed that everything but my pics got restored. Checking iCloud I find my pics are still there, they simply didn't get restored together with the rest (contacts, safari, reminders, etc.) How to go about restoring now from iCloud the pics only? Many thanks for urgent help.
