How to Recover deleted photos from iPhone 4S?

Hi people. I happened across this forum like most because I lost (in my case) around five weeks worth of photo's and my biggest frustration was not even knowing what I'd deleted! I got lucky and this method won't help everyone but might help some Windows users (Windows 7 in my case) -after two hours of wasting time on third party downloads that simply want our cash above our satisfaction I thought to Right Click on the My Photo Stream (within iCloud Photos) Folder and I immediately noticed in the long list of commands "Restore previous versions", I selected this and found almost all (but ten or so brand new) pics. I know this method is probably obvious to many and only helpful to those with Windows but if it helps even one stressed iPhone user then it helps. Btw I may also have been a little fortunate because an automatic security update had backed up my files earlier that day. Good luck.

NB: Previously when I'd deleted my iPhone Photo Stream in my iPhone4s my related Windows Folder had kept intact but on this occasion it had synced with my deletions and I suspect a recent update caused this. If you disable the iCloud Photo Stream before deleting your stream it appears to leave your Windows folder intact. Mostly simple stuff but it does appear too **** simple to lose stuff without multiple backup.

You don't necessarily have to add anything to your iPhone just so you can recover photos. I know a lot of apps can be installed on PC and promised to be totally safe for your device.

I do not know any of these softwares good enough to give a recommendation.

If iCloud Photo Library is not turned on when the photos are deleted, then iCloud Photo Library is not in the mix. The Photos app and iCloud Photo Library are two entirely separate functions. If you are not using iCloud Photo Library, then when you delete a photo on a device that is using iOS 8 or higher, the photo will go into the Recently Deleted album in the Photos app on the device, and will remain there for 30 days.

If you are using iCloud Photo Library, then when you delete a photo, it will be in the Recently Deleted album on both the device and in the iCloud Photo Library on iCloud.com.

But simply turning it on after you have deleted a photo on a device that is not using iCloud Photo Library serves no purpose.

exactly the same problem. Battery runs down in the standby mode for 6-8 hours. When using 3G discharged for 2-3 hours. How to fix it? Using the phone in this mode can not be!

Yes, usual backups are absolutely necessary, no matter with iTunes or iCloud.

Does this work and why was the link removed?
