I got a message that said restore. Will that delete my photos?

My phone died and plugged it in and a message came up support.apple.com/iphone/restore. How do I get back into my phone and will it delete my personal data and photos?

If your phone is displaying that message, any data that you did not back up is likely gone. Some items will sync to your iCloud account IF you had that set up previously.

You will need to update or restore your phone. Follow the instructions in this article: If the Restore screen appears on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
