I want to upgrade my iCloud as my new pictures and videos are on my phone and iPad but do not show in iCloud: if I upgrade will it pull in already taken photos from several months back?
Also, my iPad and iPhone are synced together. Will all pictures come in regardless of which device I use to upgrade to the iCloud? They both are under my same Apple ID.

If your iCloud storage is full or almost full
If you exceed your iCloud storage limit, photos and videos won't sync to iCloud and your library won’t stay up to date across your devices. To continue using iCloud Photos, you can upgrade your storage plan or reduce the amount of storage that you're using.

If you enable iCloud Photos on all of your devices using the same Apple ID, then each will contain the same photos (all photos on all devices) once the sync has finished.
