There’s something reassuring about digitally stored photos. Unlike the ones we used to stow in shoeboxes and albums, they can remain available, searchable, easily accessible, and un-degraded.
Until you delete them. Then your most-precious memories may be gone for good.
If you delete media from an iOS device, you may be able to recover them, especially if you act quickly.
Are they in the Recently Deleted album?
iOS moves deleted images and videos first to this temporary holding place for about 30 days. If you check there before 30 days is up, you can select and restore them to the main photo area.
However, if 30 days has passed or you manually deleted them from this folder, you have to try a different method.
