You can restore every image directly from your phone — for free, without any expert tricks. Discover now how to turn your distress into total relief.


1. Why do photos “disappear” so easily? 🧐

Even modern smartphones carry three silent pitfalls:

  1. Wrong touch
    Clear the gallery, select everything, confirm… and that’s it, memories down the drain.
  2. System failure
    Interrupted update, camera app crash or Android/iOS bug may corrupt the DCIM folder.
  3. Device exchange
    Migrating to a new phone without a full backup leaves records on the old device — then it gets formatted and sold.

Understanding the cause helps you choose the right rescue method. The golden rule? Stop using your phone as soon as you notice the loss. Each new photo or video you record overlays fragments of deleted files, reducing the chance of perfect recovery.

2. Hidden trash can: the first rescue 🗑️

Before installing any app, do a manual scan:

  • Android (Google Photos):
    Open Google PhotosLibraryBin. Items remain for 30 days. Tap Restore.
  • iPhone (Photos):
    PhotosAlbumsDeleted. Select, Recover. Stays for 30 days.
  • Manufacturer Galleries (Samsung, Xiaomi, etc.) also have their own recycle bin. Look for “Deleted” or “Trash”.

If the images are not there, move on: the file exists, but the system does not see it.


3. Cloud native tools 🌩️

Google Photos

  1. Open the app.
  2. Tap on profile picture › Photo Settings › check if Backup and Synchronization was active.
  3. Search by date, location or keyword (“beach”, “birthday”).

iCloud

  1. Enter in iCloud.com in the browser.
  2. Access PhotosDeleted or use the search bar.

If backup was enabled, you're done: just download or restore.


4. When the recycle bin fails: time for the right app 🚀

Most of the “miracles” promised on the internet either don’t work or contain malware. For Android and iPhone there is a legitimate solution: Tenorshare UltData. It scans “hidden” sectors where the system marks deleted files, reconstructs fragments and returns photos, videos and even WhatsApp chats.
