Airdropped photos not saved

I airdropped photos from my mom's iphone to my iphone. I accepted it and prompted me a sent notification and it showed in my mom's phone that files were sent. But upon checkin my camera roll, not a single file was saved. We've already permanently deleted the photos from my mom's phone. Any help?

Hello Pat0517,

Thanks for that info and choosing the Apple Support Communities. If I understand correctly, you are unable to find the pictures transferred using AirDrop from your mother’s iPhone to your iPhone. Since your mom deleted the pictures from her device, you will have to recover them from a backup or another source like the Photos app on iCloud.com. Once these pictures are recovered, then you can try transferring them again with AirDrop or other options.

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup
iCloud: Access your photos and videos on iCloud.com

Cheers!
