Q:

Lost photos on iPhone after update – any way to recover?

Hey guys, I updated my iPhone yesterday and noticed that a bunch of my photos are missing. Checked Recently Deleted too, but they’re not there. Any idea if they can be recovered?

(Update) Tried a paid iPhone data recovery tool and it actually worked! Got most of my missing photos and videos back after scanning my iPhone. Definitely a lifesaver finally.

I’d suggest trying a trusted recovery software. Most of them show a preview before you actually recover anything.

But not always. The data still exists internally until overwritten. Recovery tools just access that leftover data.

Really? I thought once deleted, it’s gone for good.

Edit: I just now got to know that there are some data recovery tools that scan your iPhone directly and try to pull deleted files. I’ve seen people recover photos, messages, and even WhatsApp chats that way. I am going to give them a try.

No backup on iTunes either 😓 I mostly relied on iCloud, which was already full.

In that case, recovery might still be possible if the data hasn’t been overwritten yet. Did you try restoring from iTunes backup?

I don’t think so. My iCloud storage was full, so backup probably didn’t happen.

That’s frustrating. Sometimes updates can mess with local data. Were those photos backed up on iCloud?
