How do I recover a deleted video from my iPhone?

Hey there, Kekoa,

If you've accidentally deleted a video on your iPhone, there are a few methods you can try to recover it:

1. Recently Deleted Album:

- Open the Photos app.

- Tap on 'Albums' and scroll down to find the 'Recently Deleted' album.

- If your video is there, select it and tap 'Recover'. This album holds deleted photos and videos for up to 30 days.

2. iCloud Backup:

- If you regularly back up your iPhone to iCloud, and you're sure the video was included in a previous backup, you can restore your iPhone to that backup.

- Be aware that restoring from iCloud Backup will replace all the current data on your device with the data from the backup, so you might lose any data generated after the backup date.

3. Third-Party Recovery Tools:

- There are various third-party applications available that claim to recover deleted data from iOS devices without backups. These tools can sometimes retrieve deleted files directly from the device's storage. However, their effectiveness can vary, and they often require a purchase.

4. Check Other Devices:

- If you use the same Apple ID on other devices or have Family Sharing set up, check if the video is available on another device like an iPad or Mac.

Important Considerations:

- Act Quickly: The sooner you try to recover your video, the better your chances, especially if it's in the 'Recently Deleted' album.

- Backup Regularly: To prevent future loss, regularly back up your iPhone to iCloud or your computer.

- Data Loss Risk with Restores: Be cautious about restoring from an old backup as it can lead to the loss of more recent data.

If these methods do not work and the video is crucial, professional data recovery services are an option, though they can be expensive and are not guaranteed to succeed.
