Do you have an iPhone? Apple's smartphone operating system, IOS, allows you to recover your deleted photos for 30 days. It's as simple as finding a downloaded document. Go to the "photos" app on your phone. Open "album" then the folder "recently deleted", which contains all deleted items during the last month. To get them back, go to the top right, and press "select." Then select all the images you want before clicking "recover" at the bottom right.

If there is no photo there, Apple offers another solution. When you purchased your iPhone, you probably synchronized your phone to the iTunes app. If so, everything in the device now remains in the app's memory. Turn on your computer, and log in to your account. All you have to do is select "Summary" and then "restore backup". Select all the photos you are interested in, then click "restore". In a few minutes, your photos will be back in the "photos" app of your iPhone.

You need to add a photo to your phone directory, but you mistakenly deleted it. On an Android smartphone, it is possible to find it. Open the "Google photos" application: this is the place where all your photos are stored for 60 days. Go to "Photo Gallery" and then to "trash". Then select the deleted items, and click at the bottom "restore". All selected images will return to the "Gallery" application of your Android phone.

Sometimes all these solutions do not work. This is why data recovery software is available. Install Dr. Fone or iMoby PhoneRescue for free for iPhone, and Aiseesoft or EaseUS MobiSaver for Android. Their use is simple and intuitive: follow the explanations step by step, and quickly find your photos deleted by mistake.
