Good morning Amirthekiwi,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand you accidentally deleted a photo from your iPhone and are trying to recover it. With iOS 12.1, the Recently Deleted album should be listed in blue letters at the bottom of the Albums list. It is in a section called "Other Albums" and includes Imports, Hidden, and Recently Deleted.
Check to make sure the photo is not in the "Hidden" album as well.

Get your photos back
If you accidentally delete a photo, you have 30 days to get it back from your Recently Deleted album. When you recover photos and videos, they go back into your All Photos album.
- Open the Photos app and go to the Albums tab.
- Open the Recently Deleted album and tap Select.
- Tap each photo or video that you want to keep.
- Tap Recover and confirm that you want to recover the photos.
If you're missing a photo or video, you can try these steps to find it.
Do you have iCloud Photos enabled on your iPhone? If you do, you can use any computer to access the www.icloud.com website and retrieve the photo from the Recently Deleted folder as well.
Set up and use iCloud Photos
Take care.
