Hiya! Have you tried checking your ‘Recently Deleted’ folder under ‘Locations’ in the Files app?

Hello, I’ve just realised that all videos prior to March last year have disappeared from my iPhone 12. They’re in in recently deleted or hidden and I’ve signed into iCloud to look for them. Is there anyway I can get these back?? Hello, I’ve just realised that all videos prior to March last year have disappeared from my iPhone 12. They’re not in recently deleted or hidden and I’ve signed into iCloud to look for them. I think they disappeared after a big software update but I can’t be sure. Is there anyway I can get these back??

Either you have logged out from iCloud Drive on your device or yet to Set up iCloud Drive on your iPhone.

If you had those files on other Cloud Drives (iCloud Drive, Google Drive, OneDrive, DropBox, Flickr, box, AmazonDrive, Adobe Creative Cloud etc) Then please log into them before you can access those files on Files App.
