Recovering photos from old iPhone

Hi everyone,


I decided to exclude an old iPhone that already went to the recycle bin from My Devices and now I'm afraid that I lost photos and videos from the time I used it (before 2017). In my current phone I only can see photos and videos from 2017 to date. Is it possible to restore the old iPhone in My Devices to possibly recover the photos and videos lost?


Thank you.

It sounds like you no longer have the device any more. If that's the case, and you don't have a backup of the data that was on it, then no. The data is gone. There is no place to recover it from.


Removing it from your list of devices would not have removed any data from your other devices or the cloud anyway.
