If you encounter the similar problems and want to know how to recover deleted photos from iPhone, you have come to the right place. In this guide, we’ll share 6 simple and effective methods to help you recover deleted photos from iPhone in just a few steps.
The answer is yes. But the success rate is not 100% guaranteed.
Why?
For understanding the reason, you should first know how your data is stored on iPhone.
iPhone saves data on a database called SQLite. If you delete some data, the data is not erased or removed completely from iPhone. The data just disappeared in your eyes on iPhone. They are just marked as "Unallocated" from "Allocated", and still on your iPhone.
So "Is there any way to read and restore the deleted photos from iPhone?"
Of course.
However, the deleted photos will disappear permanently, if you create new data (e.g. deleted new data), because these data may be overwritten by the new created data.
In another word, for getting the biggest chance of recovering the deleted photos on iPhone, you should bear the three things in mind:
1. Stop using the iPhone right away after you deleted the photos.
2. Get the good iPhone photos recovery software.
3. Back up your iPhone frequently to avoid any data loss.
This way of recovering deleted photos from iPhone is offered by Apple. It enables you to restore photos from iPhone directly without any tool. But it has some limitations:
1. iPhone must works in iOS 8 or newer.
2. You are allowed to retrieve those deleted photos within 30 days.
The detailed guides are as following:
View the list of albums, and select "Recently Deleted". Here you could find all the delete camera roll photo thumbnails. Each one has a number on it, which shows how long that photo can be recovered. You are allowed to view them.
After checking all the deleted photos that you want to recover, click "Recover" to restore them. You are capable of recovering a single deleted photo or multiple deleted photos.
Come back to "Albums" or "Photos", and you will find your undeleted photos from camera roll as usual.
However, if I deleted photos beyond 30 days, is it possible to recover deleted photos from iPhone?
Definitely yes.
Just go to Way 2.
If you deleted the photos beyond 30 days, then you had better turn to the iPhone data software for help.
