You need to use your backups, backups that include your photos and have been made before you deleted your photos. How long ago has it been, that you deleted the photos? Has iCloud Photos been enabled?


if it has been only a few hours ago, and the photos have been stored in the device and not in iCloud, and you have not used the iPhone since you deleted them, data recovery software may find the. But data recovery software is expensive and the result uncertain. Buy only software that will show you what can be r3covered before you have to pay. Disk Drill usually quite good at finding photos, that have not yet been overwritten by other data.

Troubleshooting Lost Photos:

Loss of data is something you would have agreed to upon opening an Apple Account. So, if the following does not work, then they are gone. That's just the way is is.


Four Tactics to Try:


A. Start here: If you're Missing Photos or Videos in the Photos app - Apple Support


B. Check iCloud Directly:

See if they reside in iCloud Photos. Log in here: https://www.icloud.com/photos


C. Use a Time Machine Backup:

Did you backup your Mac, recently? If so, then restore your Mac from that. You'd backup you Mac prior to doing so, and then restore your data from the backup you just created, through use of Migration Assistant.


D. Where Else to Check:

  • PC
  • PDA
  • eMail
  • Mac Device
  • Cloud Storage
  • Android Phone
  • USB Flash Drive
  • External Hard drive
  • Secure Digital Card
  • Compact Flash Card
