How to Look Up Recently Deleted Photos on iPhone
Have you ever accidentally deleted a precious photo from your iPhone and wished you could recover it? Don’t worry; you’re not alone. Losing important memories can be distressing, but there are ways to look up recently deleted photos on your iPhone. In this article, we will guide you through the process of retrieving your deleted photos and help you restore those cherished moments.
1. Check the Recently Deleted Album
The first place you should check for recently deleted photos is the “Recently Deleted” album. This album is a built-in feature in iOS that stores deleted photos for a limited period before permanently deleting them. Here’s how to access it:
1. Open the “Photos” app on your iPhone.
2. Tap on the “Albums” tab at the bottom of the screen.
3. Scroll down and tap on “Recently Deleted.”
4. You will see a list of photos that were deleted within the last 30 days.
2. Restore Deleted Photos from Recently Deleted Album
If you find your deleted photos in the “Recently Deleted” album, you can easily restore them:
1. Open the “Photos” app and go to the “Recently Deleted” album.
2. Tap on the photo you want to restore.
3. Tap the “Share” button (the box with an arrow pointing upwards).
4. Select “Move to” from the menu.
5. Choose the album where you want to save the photo, or create a new album.
6. Tap “Move” to restore the photo.
3. Use iCloud Photo Library to Retrieve Deleted Photos
If you have enabled the “iCloud Photo Library” feature on your iPhone, you can use it to retrieve deleted photos from your iCloud account. Here’s how:
1. Open the “Photos” app on your iPhone.
2. Tap on the “Albums” tab at the bottom of the screen.
3. Scroll down and tap on “iCloud Photos.”
4. Look for the deleted photo in the “All Photos” or “All Videos” album.
5. Tap the photo and select “Share” from the menu.
6. Choose “Move to” and select the album where you want to save the photo.
4. Use Third-Party Apps to Restore Deleted Photos
If the above methods don’t work or you want to recover photos that were deleted before the “Recently Deleted” album was cleared, you can try using third-party apps designed for photo recovery. Some popular options include Disk Drill, Dr.Fone, and iMyFone Umate Pro. These apps can scan your iPhone’s storage and recover deleted photos, but they may not always be successful.
Remember that the success rate of recovering deleted photos depends on various factors, such as the time elapsed since the deletion and the storage space available on your iPhone. It’s always a good idea to regularly back up your photos to prevent permanent loss.
