How to Go to Recently Deleted Photos on iPad

If you’ve ever accidentally deleted a photo on your iPad and are looking for a way to retrieve it, you’re in luck. Apple has made it relatively easy to access the photos you’ve recently deleted. In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps to go to recently deleted photos on your iPad.

Accessing the Recently Deleted Album

The first step to accessing your recently deleted photos is to open the Photos app on your iPad. Once the app is open, you’ll see several tabs at the bottom of the screen. Tap on the “Albums” tab to view all of your photo albums, including the “Recently Deleted” album.

Locating the Recently Deleted Album

Scroll through the list of albums until you find the “Recently Deleted” album. This album is designed to store photos that have been deleted within the last 30 days. If you don’t see the “Recently Deleted” album, make sure you have the latest version of the Photos app installed on your iPad.

Viewing and Restoring Deleted Photos

Once you’ve located the “Recently Deleted” album, tap on it to view the photos that have been deleted. You’ll see a list of thumbnails of the deleted photos. To restore a photo, simply tap on it and then tap the “Restore” button that appears. The photo will be moved back to its original location in your photo library.

Deleting Permanently

If you’re sure that you want to permanently delete a photo from the “Recently Deleted” album, you can do so by tapping the “Select” button in the upper-right corner of the screen. Then, tap on the photo you want to delete permanently and tap the “Delete” button that appears. The photo will be permanently deleted from your iPad.

Emptying the Recently Deleted Album

If you want to clear out the “Recently Deleted” album entirely, you can do so by tapping the “Select” button in the upper-right corner of the screen. Then, tap “Select All” and tap the “Delete” button. This will permanently delete all photos in the “Recently Deleted” album.

Conclusion

Accessing and managing recently deleted photos on your iPad is a straightforward process. By following these simple steps, you can easily restore or permanently delete photos from the “Recently Deleted” album. Just remember that once a photo is permanently deleted, it’s gone forever, so be sure to review your selections carefully before deleting them.
