All photos and videos you take with your iPad camera are saved in the Photos app. With iCloud Photos turned on, all new photos and videos are automatically uploaded and available in Photos on all your devices that are set up with iCloud Photos (with iOS 8.1, iPadOS 13, or later).
You can share and print your photos, too, or send them with AirDrop, and iCloud Photos can even help save space on your iPad.
Note: If Location Services is turned on in Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services, photos and videos are tagged with location data that can be used by apps and photo-sharing websites. See Control the location information you share.
