I've only occasionally used my phone to take these types of pictures, instead I use a Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ 30 mini camera from which I transfer the pictures to this lap top
I'm of the opinion that my somewhat aged lap top and in particular the pictures library facility has developed a glitch as other pictures have also gone missing
I'll search the laptop memory to see if I can recover any images
Thanks for your advice

But in all honestly there is no other safe way, not without cost and hassle anyway.
You set it up and as soon as you take a photo next time your on wifi it uploads a copy to the cloud without you doing anything.
Your laptop might develop a fault as can any hard drive or USB stick etc.
Definately something you should consider going forward.
Top end new cameras have the same facility.
My Nikon uses my phones data allowance (or McDonalds wifi
) and copies stuff to the cloud (if i want it too)Handy if your away for a few days and your filling up your SD card.
This may help.

Take the laptop to the police station and say you think it belonged to either Gary Glitter, Rolf Harris, Jimmy Saville, or pick a peado of choice, they'll soon find any "lost" photos on there for you.
