Step 1: Connect Your iPhone and iPad to Wi-Fi
Before you can sync your photos, you need to make sure that both your iPhone and iPad are connected to Wi-Fi. This is important because syncing photos can use up a lot of data, especially if you have a large photo library. Once both devices are connected to Wi-Fi, you can proceed to the next step.

To enable iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone and iPad, follow these steps: 1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone. 2. Tap on your name at the top of the screen. 3. Tap on iCloud. 4. Tap on Photos. 5. Toggle on the iCloud Photo Library switch. Repeat these steps on your iPad to enable iCloud Photo Library on both devices.
Step 3: Wait for Your Photos to Sync
Once you have enabled iCloud Photo Library on both devices, your photos will start syncing automatically. This process may take some time, especially if you have a large photo library. You can check the progress of the sync by going to the Photos app on your iPhone and iPad and looking for the spinning wheel in the top left corner of the screen.
Step 4: Access Your Photos on Your iPad
Once your photos have finished syncing, you can access them on your iPad by opening the Photos app. All your photos and videos should be available for you to view and share.
