Question

My photos and videos all disappeared from my phone. How to get them back?

Try to use an app like Google Photos to sync your photos on your phone. If your device gets broken or damaged, your photos will still be in your iCloud or Google Account. You can even turn on iCloud Photos in Settings > Your Name > iCloud > Photos > iCloud Photos.
