Hi, Syed Moiz. It looks like no one has responded to your question. If you could provide some additional information it could help others in the Apple Support Communities answer your question:

Do you use iCloud on your iPhone, and if so do you also use iCloud Photo Library?
Do you back up your iPhone to iTunes or iCloud (and if so, which do you use)?
What model iPhone do you have, and what iOS version is running on it (for example, iPhone X with iOS 11.1.2)?

Cheers.

Hi Lindsay,

Thanks for your response.

Be informed that I’m using iPhone 5s with an updated iOS of 11.1.2. Additionally I use iCloud and it backups the data automatically. Also to let you know that photos/contacts have deleted beyond 30 days.

Cheers

you can look in on this page Get help with missing photos - Apple Support

or maybe look on iCloud - Sign in if you have them in recently deleted
