Hi Beatrice,
When a phone overheats while using an SD card, and then the data disappears, it usually means the card got corrupted.
This corruption has led to file system corruption, and your photos are lost. Don’t worry, there’s still a good chance you can recover your photos.
Firstly, avoid using the SD card and get a photo recovery software like Stellar Photo Recovery, Photorec, or Recuva to recover your lost photos or other files from your SD card. These tools can help you recover lost photos from any card or device.

Is the SD card visible on your phone but not on your mother’s phone? If that’s the case, why don’t you simply insert the SD card into your phone and make a backup of all the data?

Like Arin said, your card probably got messed up from the phone overheating. And like Ezra asked, if your phone can see the card but not the files, try backing up whatever you can.

Next, pop the SD card into a computer and run a recovery program like Stellar Photo Recovery to try and get your photos back. Don’t use the card any more right now so you don’t overwrite anything. If the computer can’t even see the card, you might need to think about professional recovery.
