Sorry, but backups have to occur......before......disasters. It's too late now, no way to back up the phone remotely.


Find your lost iPhone or iPad with Find My - Apple Support


Hopefully, your friend has a recent back on a computer or iCloud.

Recovering Lost Data:

Look in a place would would have backed it up. Elsewise, it is gone. For example, here is how you would troubleshoot Photos and Videos:


Locating Lost Photos and Videos:


I. Enable Photos and Contacts in iCloud:

On the iPhones, enable Contacts in iCloud.

On the iPhone:

  1. Go to: Settings
  2. Tap: Your Name (Top Item)
  3. Tap: iCloud
  4. Tap: Photos (so that it is green)
  5. Tap: Contacts (so that it is green)


II. Troubleshooting Deleted Photos:

Three Things to Try:

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

B. Check iCloud, Directly:

Go here, and see if they reside in iCloudhttps://www.icloud.com/photos

C. Where Else to Check:

  1. PC
  2. PDA
  3. eMail
  4. Mac Device
  5. Cloud Storage
  6. Android Phone
  7. USB Flash Drive
  8. External Hard drive
  9. Secure Digital Card
  10. Compact Flash Card
