Is there a way to get photos that you’ve already deleted from your recently deleted back?

If you have a backup on your computer from when the photos were available, you can restore to it. However, it must be a backup taken on your PC or Mac, as iCloud Backup does not contain content that is already synchronized in iCloud.


You can see how to restore from a backup here:

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support


Source, Apple Support:

A computer backup of your device, which is not the same as a sync, includes almost all of your device's data and settings. A backup from a computer doesn't include:


  • Content from the iTunes and App Stores, or PDFs downloaded directly to Apple Books
  • Content synced from Finder or iTunes, like imported MP3s or CDs, videos, books, and photos
  • Data already stored in iCloud, like iCloud Photos, iMessages, and text (SMS) and multimedia (MMS) messages
  • Face ID or Touch ID settings
  • Apple Pay information and settings
  • Apple Mail data
  • Activity, Health, and Keychain data (to back up this content, you'll need to use Encrypted Backup in iTunes.)
