Photo recovery

I have several photos I permanently deleted from my phone about a year or so ago. How can I recover those photos and videos?

Hi Noahg2000,

Welcome to the Apple Community.

Sorry ... there's no sure-fire way to recover the photos from your iPhone.

Seems the only way to recover those photos and videos would be:

- From a back-up you made at the time (Eg: External storage / jump drive / another Mac, PC, device)
- From anyone to whom you may have sent copies.
- From e-mails (archived, backed-up, or still in folders) that you shared the photos in ... sent at the time.

All the best :-)
