How to recover a photo you accidentally deleted from your iPhone
Have you ever accidentally deleted a photo from your iPhone that you really intended to keep?
If so, you probably felt that familiar “sinking heart” feeling that you usually feel when you realize you just made a big mistake.
Well guess what? You can recover a photo that you deleted by accident with just a few quick taps if you do it within 30 days of the deletion. Here’s how:
1 – Open the Photos app.
2 – Tap on the Albums icon.
3 – Scroll down to the “Utilities” section and tap Recently Deleted.
4 – If prompted to do so, sign in using either Face ID or Touch ID.
5 – If you just wish to recover a single photo, tap the photo you wish to recover and then tap the Recover link.
If you wish to recover all recently deleted photos, tap Select and then tap Recover all followed by Recover X Photos.
That’s all there is to it. Now you know how to recover any (or all) photos that you deleted from your iPhone within the last 30 days.
