Recover photos

I have a shuffle wallpaper, but I deleted the photos in the photos app. How can I recover these photos? By the way they were not saving in iCloud or anything.

If the photos are no longer in Recently Deleted, they have been permanently deleted and cannot be recovered from the iPhone. (Get help with missing photos - Apple Support)

You need to find a backup of the deleted photos. Did you make a backup on a computer, while the Photos still have been on the iPhone ? Then you can recover the photos by restoring the iPhone from the backup (Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support).

We have to save our photos somewhere before deleting them from our iPhone, unless we are absolutely sure, that the photos are redundant and we do not need them any longer.
