Deleted photos are not in Recent deleted
I deleted some photos from my iphone last week and tried to recover those today, but they are not in Recently deleted album. Why is that? is this some kind of bug? How can I find my photos now ?
iPhone XS
There are several possible reasons:Usually Photos will be saved in "Recently Deleted" for 30 days, before they will be deleted automatically, but not always:
- If you are running out of iCloud Storage, any photo you delete will be deleted immediately and not be saved in Recently Deleted.
- If you are deleting Photos in Photos that have not been imported to the Photos Library, for example photos from Shared Albums or My Photos Stream, they will also be deleted immediately.
- if you remove photos from albums, but do not delete them, you will not be seeing them in Recently Deleted, because they have not been deleted from the library. They should still appear in All Photos.
- Or did you perhaps delete photos from another device and the deletion synced to your iPhone?
Does any of this apply? Is iCloud Photos enabled on your iPhone?
