photo retrieval

Hi,

How do I retrieve photos stored in my iphone?

I recently locked my iphone then i accidentally restored it to factory setting thereby losing all my photos.

Is there a way to retrieve them? Thanks in advance...

iPhone XS Max, iOS 15

Unless you used the iCloud Photos syncing feature (so that you can retrieve your pictures from iCloud), or you have a full backup (created recently), your data are gone forever, sorry. The "restore to factory settings" procedure is irreversible.

Regards

Giulio
