How do I get back accidentally deleted photo's, they were accidentally deleted from the recently deleted file

I received a new iphone from my work and moved all my stuff from my old phone to new phone. I needed to turn in my old phone to my work so I was deleting stuff from old phone not knowing it was deleting from the new one. I have lost over 12 years of pictures. I have a backup to the cloud but need to know if I can get these pictures back. It just happened late yesterday afternoon

If you have a backup of your device from before you deleted the photos, you can follow the instructions in the following support article to restore your iPhone from the backup: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support


Please note that you’ll need to erase your device before you can restore from a backup. Be sure to make copies of any data that wasn’t included in your most recent backup before you erase your iPhone.
