Due to its many cool features and high-quality photos, iPhone has drawn numerous users worldwide. Users of the iPhone always use the iPhone camera to record great moments. The photos can, however, be accidentally removed from the iPhone permanently. How can I handle the problem when it happens? Here are some suitable and practical methods for finding permanently deleted photos on iPhone.
Recover Recently Removed File
If you unintentionally delete those iPhone images, it does not always mean that they are removed from your computer. The iPhone’s architecture is nice as the recently deleted pictures are stored for 30 days in the recently deleted tab. If the deletion takes place within this period, the following steps can be used to easily restore photos from this folder.
- Open your iPhone Photo app and press “Albums” at the end of the screen.
- Scroll down and find the folder “Recently Deleted” under the folder “Other Albums.” Then click it.
- Choose the deleted photos that you want to find and click on “Recover.”
This method works only for the pictures you have added. It is useless for images that were lost or removed for 30 days by other factors.
Restore Deleted Photos from iCloud Backup permanently
What if the photos which have been permanently deleted can not be recovered from a recently deleted folder? If you backed up your photos on iCloud, you don’t have to worry. You can restore iPhone photos as shown below.
- Step 1: Click Settings > General > Reset > Content and Settings are disabled.
- Step 2:Enter your passcode or password for Apple ID if requested. Then wait until the iPhone erases. And wait.
- Step 3: When you get into Apps & Data, tap “Restore iCloud Backup.” Step 3: Enter your iCloud account then.
