Hi,

I was wondering if it’s possible to restore just images from an iCloud backup? I saw that I have backups from last year and there are pictures I would like to have in my possession again. I’ve googled without finding anything. My only idea to get the pictures back is to sign in on my Apple ID in my work phone and then send them to my phone
 
I could be wrong here but, I don’t believe you can do that. If you were using an app called iMazing, you could.
Hmm. I think that’s stupid honestly. The images are still on the cloud. But I can’t access them unless I reset my phone?? Strange. I have over 10GB just in backups

It's all or nothing. That's how Apple set it up originally with iTunes and they have never changed it.

I have a 2009 HTC Touch Pro that runs Windows Mobile Pro 6.1. I can restore anything with this phone using a third party app, but with the iPhone, never.

I’ll sign in to my Apple ID on my work phone then and restore everything there. Thanks for the answers!
