randomly had photos disappear?

[u/clairvoyantinmyeyes]

hey guys, don’t know if anyone else has had this issue but i had some photos in my hidden folder and they’ve randomly disappeared, they’re not unhidden, they’re not in recently deleted and not on my iCloud. i’ve been trying to get help off of apple support but we keep going through the motions with the same solutions that never work out and then i get disconnected or they suggest i call the number instead. was wondering if anyone had had any similar issues and what they did to remedy them? i was wondering if reverting back to an older backup would work, pls let me know, thanks.
