My phone just updated and I have lost about 2000 pictures. Would have liked to have been warned. Any chance to get them back? Where did they go?

We know how important pictures are, and we would be happy to review your options for getting them back. Did you by any chance have them backed up to a cloud service?CourtneyM_VZW

Two very important things to do prior to your next update:

1. Set up you phone to not allow automatic updates. You will still get the updates, but you decide date and time to install it.

2. Before you install the update, remove the SD card from the phone.
