Overall, tools like Stellar Data Recovery for iPhone are quite reliable and reasonably effective when dealing with accidental data loss situations like yours.

Just remember to save recovered data to your computer, not back to the same phone immediately.

I personally used it to recover photos and notes—it worked well and the preview feature helped me select exactly what I needed.

Yes, many advanced tools including Stellar Data Recovery for iPhone support WhatsApp and other app data recovery, depending on the condition of the device.

That sounds promising. Does it also recover WhatsApp chats?

You can try Stellar Data Recovery for iPhone. It’s quite easy to use and supports recovery of photos, messages, contacts, and more—even without backup in some cases.

Make sure the tool supports the latest iOS version and allows preview before recovery—that’s very helpful.

Also, connect your iPhone to a computer and run a deep scan. Many tools can recover photos, messages, call logs, and even app data.

In that case, stop using the phone as much as possible to avoid overwriting. Then use a trusted recovery solution.

I checked Recently Deleted and iCloud—no luck. I think the data is permanently deleted.

If it’s not there, then you’ll need a dedicated iPhone data recovery tool. These can scan your device directly or recover from backups.

First thing—check your Recently Deleted folder in Photos and also iCloud if you have it enabled. Sometimes the data is still there.

I was in the same situation a few weeks ago. I lost contacts and photos after a failed iOS update. A recovery tool helped me get most of it back.

Don’t panic—data loss like this happens often. Recovery is still possible, especially if the data hasn’t been overwritten yet.
