Photo recovery

I have several photos I permanently deleted from my phone about a year or so ago. How can I recover those photos and videos?

iPhone 12, iOS 14

Hi Noahg2000,

Welcome to the Apple Community.


Sorry ... there's no sure-fire way to recover the photos from your iPhone.


Seems the only way to recover those photos and videos would be:

    • From a back-up you made at the time (Eg: External storage / jump drive / another Mac, PC, device)
    • From anyone to whom you may have sent copies.
    • From e-mails (archived, backed-up, or still in folders) that you shared the photos in ... sent at the time.


All the best :-)
