Apple always devoted itself to providing excellent cameras for iPhone. Most iPhone users utilize their phone camera nearly every day to record memorable moments, storing an abundance of photos and videos in the iPhone Camera Roll. There are also times, however, mistaken deletion of photos and videos on an iPhone. What’s worse, many other operations also can lead to iPhone photos disappearing, such as jailbreak, failed iOS 15 update, etc.
But there’s no need to panic. If you’re troubled by iPhone photo loss and seeking ways to recover deleted photos and videos from your iPhone, here is the right place. Below are two options for retrieving deleted photos/videos on iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 12/11/XS/XR/X/8/8 Plus, iPhone 7/7 Plus/6s/6s Plus/SE/6, iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad mini, etc.
Option 1. Using Recently Deleted Folder in Your iPhone Photos App
Apple added a Recently Deleted album in Photos App since iOS 8, to help users fix mistaken deletion problems. If you haven’t deleted your photos and videos from the Recently Deleted folder, you can easily restore them back to iPhone Camera Roll.
- On your iPhone, open the Photos app and tap on “Albums”.
- Scroll down to find the “Recently Deleted” folder and check if there are photos you want to recover.
- Tap “Select” in the upper-right corner and choose “Recover All” or individual photos you need. Afterward, tap on “Recover”.
Recently Deleted only keeps deleted photos for 30 days. Once it gets the deadline, they will be removed from the Recently Deleted album automatically. And this feature only applies when you deleted a single or small number of photos. If you get the entire Camera Roll lost by restoring the iDevice, this might not help.
Option 2. Using Third-party Tool like iPhone Data Recovery
If you can’t find your photos and videos in the Recently Deleted album, try a third-party tool like MobePas iPhone Data Recovery to get your memories back. You can recover deleted pictures and videos directly from your iPhone/iPad, or selectively restore them from iTunes/iCloud backup (provided you have one).
