Losing photos can be heartbreaking, especially if they were important memories. The good news is that even without a backup, there are ways you can try to recover your deleted iPhone photos. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you:
1. Check the "Recently Deleted" Folder
Apple provides a "Recently Deleted" folder in the Photos app, where deleted photos remain for up to 30 days. To recover your photos:
If you have a recent iCloud or iTunes backup, you can restore your iPhone to get your photos back.
If you don't have a backup or the deleted photos aren’t in the "Recently Deleted" folder, an iPhone recovery program can help. These programs scan your iPhone for deleted files that haven’t been overwritten by new data. With the right tool, you can recover photos, videos, contacts, and other lost files even if you don't have a backup.
4. Check iCloud Photos Sync
If you’ve enabled iCloud Photos, your photos may be stored in iCloud and synced across all your Apple devices. Check your other devices or iCloud.com to see if your deleted photos are still available there. If they are, you can re-enable iCloud Photos on your iPhone to sync the photos back.
1. Check the "Recently Deleted" Folder
Apple provides a "Recently Deleted" folder in the Photos app, where deleted photos remain for up to 30 days. To recover your photos:
- Open the Photos app.
- Go to Albums and find the Recently Deleted album.
- Select the photos you want to recover and tap Recover.
If you have a recent iCloud or iTunes backup, you can restore your iPhone to get your photos back.
- iCloud Backup: Go to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud > iCloud Backup and check the date of the last backup. If it’s recent enough, you can restore your device to that backup during setup.
- iTunes/Finder Backup: If you back up your iPhone to your computer, connect it, open iTunes (or Finder), and select Restore Backup to get your photos back.
If you don't have a backup or the deleted photos aren’t in the "Recently Deleted" folder, an iPhone recovery program can help. These programs scan your iPhone for deleted files that haven’t been overwritten by new data. With the right tool, you can recover photos, videos, contacts, and other lost files even if you don't have a backup.
