Hello once more~ This is from the article I linked above …


*Recover a deleted photo or video

When you delete a photo or video, it goes to the Recently Deleted album. Anything in your Recently Deleted album stays there for 30 days. After 30 days, it's permanently deleted and you can't get it back.


Sorry. Did you share with friends or family? Perhaps you stored them elsewhere?
