iPhone 5: How to recover deleted photos?

I have resorted to the fact that it is impossible to DELETE photos taken with an iPhone. Therefore I will sadly be taking FAR LESS photos using this great iPhone 7 camera. (Please read my COMPLETE message and be sure you fully comprehend it before responding.) thank you.

What "complete" message are you referring to? And of course it is not impossible to delete photos. But if you have iCloud Photo Library turned on on your iPhone 7, then you need to turn it off, because by using that service, you are signing up to have access to all of your photos all of the time. So, if that is not what you want, then you should not be using that service.

JohnJackRice, the person to whom you're responding hasn't been seen in this thread since 2013, so, it's unlikely that they'll respond at all. The confused grammar and vocabulary in your post is making it a challenge to complete understand your point. If English is not your native language, you might want to post in a language in which you're more fluent.

Best of luck.

If you have a question about recovering deleted photos, please state it clearly and completely (if English is not your first language please don't hesitate to post the question in your native language if that is easier).

If you have a question about anything else, then you need to start a new thread, and then provide a complete, clear question.

Best of luck,

JohnJackRice,

On the Photos app on your phone. Go to Albums > Recently Deleted. Your photos might be there. Are they there? If so, drag them back into some other album.

The OP hasn't been seen in this thread since 2013. I think things were different then. 😉

Ok I spent a crazy amount of time reading ways to recover photos on iphones because here I am deleting a photo of my son that I did NOT want to delete. I am not tech savy at all! But here is how you recover the photos you want! Super easy no downloading anything!!!!

1. go into your photos! On my phone it is a colorful flower icon

2. Then select albums

3. In the albums there is one called "recently deleted" select it!

You are welcome!!!!

If you have no backup of your phone then there is no way for you to recover the deleted photos, sorry it's gone.

iTunes copies the files to the backup and uses unique file names

Windows XP Directory: C: \Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

Windows Vista/7 Directory: C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

For every device you have, there will be a folder for each that keeps your backup. Just rename the file extensions to .jpg and they'll be the original picture images that you can view on your device. If you have it shown in thumbnails, they should change from the broken/corrupted files to an actual image you can open up.

According to Apple, the photos get backed up in iTunes when you do a sync/backup, so connect your phone to iTunes and restore from the latest backup.

It's not a good idea to store photos in the camera roll of your phone.

maybe not software but you can restore your phone back from an earlier date which will bring the pictures back but every change since then will get cleared as well unless you create a backup before restoring it. long process but its the only was i can see you getting them back

You can recover files from iPhone 5 directly,or recover from iTuens backup file to get back iPhone lost data.

No, it can retrieve the photos just from iTunes backup if you make a backup. If you want to recover other data, it may recover from iPhone directly.

Read the OP's post again - he's traveling with no computer with him and hasn't backed up the device.

Photo vault probably uses links to the photo app's photos, so when you delete them the photos are gone in your "vault" as well, as you discovered.

On a device, there's no SD card or similar storage that can extract deleted files from.

My advice is to turn on icloud and icloud backups (settings>icloud).

If you haven't backed up your iPhone, it's impossible to recover the deleted photos.
