Everything deleted from recently deleted folder. Is it permanent? Can I recover items?

Is there a way to recover photos/videos that have been deleted from the recently deleted album? My kids went in and deleted all photos and videos on their ipads and also deleted in the recently deleted folder? They share an apple account and thought they figured out a way that they wouldn't see each others photos and then went and deleted everything. Everything is now permanently gone and I can't bring anything back as they deleted in recently deleted as well. Now they are very upset. Is there anyway to retrieve the items?

iPad, iPadOS 16

Photos deleted from your Photo Library will initially be moved to the Recently Deleted folder - from which they can be recovered. Deletion from the associated Recently Deleted folder is permanent/irreversible.


Unless you have a pre-existing backup of the photos, that has not been refreshed since deleting your photos, recovery from your backup may be possible.
