Hello, Kiran.


Unfortunately, once you've deleted your photos and videos from the Recently Deleted folder, they are typically gone permanently, as that folder only keeps them for 30 days. However, there are still a few things you can try:

1. Check iCloud (If Enabled):

  • If you have iCloud Photos enabled, the photo or video might still be available on iCloud. Try logging in to iCloud.com and check your Photos there to see if it's still available.
  • On your iPhone, go to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud > Photos and make sure iCloud Photos is enabled. If it is, your media might still be in sync on another device.

2. Check for Backups:

  • If you’ve made an iCloud or iTunes backup before the photos and videos were deleted, you may be able to restore them from a backup. However, restoring a backup will overwrite your current data, so make sure to back up your current photos first.
  • To restore from an iCloud backup: Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings, then choose Restore from iCloud Backup during setup.
  • To restore from an iTunes backup: Connect your iPhone to a computer, open Finder (Mac) or iTunes (PC), and choose Restore Backup.

3. Third-Party Recovery Tools:

  • If the above steps don't work, you can try using third-party apps like Dr.Fone or iMobie PhoneRescue. These tools can sometimes recover deleted files from your iPhone or iCloud, but success can vary.

If none of these methods work, unfortunately, the media may be permanently lost. In that case, contacting Apple Support might be your best option for further assistance. Here is the link: Official Apple Support
