Q: Can I Recover Immediately Deleted Photos on my iPhone?
I've been confused about iCloud since the day it came out, but today, I realized that my iCloud Storage was full. I decided to delete a lot of my old photos on my iPhone thinking that my photos were already backed up on Mac's Photos application. Keep in mind, I had my iCloud Photo Library turned on and I set the option to Download and Keep Originals, but apparently iCloud doesn't work the way I thought it would. When I deleted all of my old photos on my iPhone it said "Delete Immediately". Then, all the downloaded originals of my iPhone photos were deleted off the Mac as well. Is there any way to restore my old photos? I heard that iCloud Backup does not include photos and iTunes Backup is also very confusing. Do I have to resort to a third party application?
iPhone 6s, iOS 9.3.2
