Memories gone? Breathe: they're still hidden in the device.

Discover the method that tracks every byte and returns your media in minutes, straight to the gallery.

What do you want to bring back?

1. What happens when something “disappears”? 🧐

When you delete a photo, video, or PDF, the system only marks that space as "free." The data remains there—invisible—until it's overwritten. This means that if you act quickly, your chances of recovery exceed 90%. But wait too long or write new files, and the block is lost forever.

Summary of the most common culprits

• Wrong touch during gallery cleaning.
• Update stuck corrupting DCIM folder.
• “Optimization” app that cleans more than it should.
• Overheating: CPU exceeds 45°C and closes recordings abruptly.
• Factory reset without backup.

2. Stop everything: golden rule of recovery 🛑

Did you notice the loss?

1. Stop recordings and downloads.
2. Avoid installing apps.
3. Turn off mobile data if possible.

Less writing to storage = higher chances of success.

3. Quick check: Native trash 🗑️

Android — Open Google Photos or the manufacturer's gallery → Library → Trash → tap Restore.
iPhone — Open Photos → Albums → Deleted → select and Recover.

Files stay there for 30 days. If they haven't appeared, it's time to dig deeper.

4. Invisible cloud backup ☁️

4.1 Google Photos / Google Drive

Open Google Photos, tap your profile picture, and see if "Backup complete." Search by date, location, or object (Google recognizes faces and objects).

4.2 iCloud

Go to iCloud.com → Photos or Files → Deleted. If you find it, restore it with one click.

Got it? Great. If not, call in real reinforcements.
