How to Recover Deleted Photos or Videos on iPhone 12

You’ve taken many photos or screenshots, and now you need to create some space on your iPhone. What to do? Delete some of those pictures, right?

That worked! But now there’s a little problem: you also deleted some of your favorite pictures. If you’ve found yourself in this situation, you have nothing to worry about – you don’t need to panic.

Thankfully, your iPhone doesn’t really delete your pictures after you delete them. Instead, it stores them in an album, “Recently Deleted,” for 30 days before getting rid of them.

Here’s how you can get your favorite photo (s) back.

First, navigate your Home Screen and open the Photo application.

Then, tap “Albums” at the lower part of your screen and scroll down.
