Let me start by admitting I'm not at all tech savvy...
I have lost an old phone (currently unsure what model as I can't remember) but was wondering if there is any way to find out if my photos are backed up elsewhere. The phone would have been used between 2014 and 2016.
I currently have Google photos on my phone - I set up a Gmail account when I got my current phone. I have checked via Gmail if there are other accounts linked to my phone but there aren't. I know at the time I had a Hotmail account, I was wondering if when I initially set the phone up in 2014 whether there would have been some kind of automatic backup or whether I would have had to back the photos up manually? I have checked One Drive and it doesn't bring any photos up. Does this mean my photos are gone if I can't find the phone?
Sorry if this is a ridiculous question, but I would really love to recover the lost photos. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
