how to recover deleted photos

Check your device's Recently Deleted or Trash folder first, as these hold photos for 30 to 60 days.

Check Built-in Trash Folders. iPhone and iPad users should check the Recently Deleted album in the Photos app, which stores items for 30 days. Android users should check the Trash folder in Google Photos (60 days if backed up, 30 days if not) or their device's specific Gallery app recycle bin.
Check Cloud Backups. If the photos were synced, check the web versions of iCloud (icloud.com) or Google Photos (photos.google.com). Also, check other cloud storage services like OneDrive, Dropbox, or Amazon Photos.
Stop Using the Device. Stop using the device immediately to avoid overwriting deleted data. If the photos were on an SD card, remove it and connect it to a computer using a card reader for better recovery chances.
Use Recovery Software. If built-in methods fail, use reputable data recovery software (such as Disk Drill, Stellar, or EaseUS) on a computer to scan the device or SD card. Always save recovered files to a different drive, not the one being scanned.
