Upload and sync photos across devices
Use iCloud Photos to upload photos and videos from your iPad to iCloud and access them on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch where you’re signed in using the same Apple ID. iCloud Photos is useful if you want to keep your photos up to date across multiple devices or save space on your iPad. To turn on iCloud Photos, go to Settings > Photos. When iCloud Photos is turned off, you can still collect up to 1000 of your most recent photos in the My Photo Stream album on devices set up with iCloud. See Use My Photo Stream on iPad.
