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.
Hi everyone, I accidentally deleted some important photos and WhatsApp chats from my iPhone. I didn’t have a recent backup. Is there any way to recover them?
Final note—tools like Stellar Repair for Video are quite reasonable and effective when it comes to handling such issues, especially for critical files.
Exactly, don’t lose hope. Many of us have been in the same situation and managed to recover our videos successfully.
You’re on the right track. Most files corrupted due to sudden interruptions are recoverable with the right approach.
Thanks everyone, this is really reassuring. I’ll try using a proper repair tool with the sample file and avoid unnecessary conversions.
Thank you for the advice, I ended up using Stellar Data Recovery Free Edition to scan my drive. It was a lifesaver because it let me recover my most critical files (up to 1 GB for free) without any upfront cost. If you’re in a similar spot, it’s a great ‘first-response’ tool to see if your data is still intact.
Make sure the tool supports the latest iOS version and allows preview before recovery—that’s very helpful.
