G GOWTHAM
Accidentally deleting photos from your smartphone is common but stressful. Whether it’s cherished memories, important documents, or work-related images, losing photos can feel devastating. Fortunately, there are simple and effective ways to recover deleted photos on both Android and iphone devices.

Recovering Photos on Android

1. Check the google Photos Trash
Most Android phones automatically sync photos to Google Photos. Deleted photos stay in the Trash folder for 60 days.

· Open Google Photos → Tap Library → Trash.

· Select the photos → Tap Restore.
This will restore the photos to your gallery.

2. Use a File Manager or Gallery App
Some phones have a Recycle Bin or Recently Deleted folder in the default Gallery app. Check there before trying more advanced methods.

3. Third-Party Recovery Apps
If the above methods fail, apps like DiskDigger or Dr.Fone can scan your phone’s storage to recover lost images. Note: These may require root access on some devices.

Recovering Photos on iPhone

1. Check the Recently Deleted Album
iPhones keep deleted photos in the Recently Deleted folder for 30 days.

· Open Photos → Albums → Recently Deleted.

· Select the photos → Tap Recover.

2. Restore from iCloud Backup
If your iphone is synced with iCloud, you can restore deleted photos:

· Go to Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud → Photos.

· Check if the deleted photos are available for recovery.

3. Restore from iTunes Backup
If you regularly back up your iphone to iTunes, you can restore your device from the last backup that contains the deleted photos.

Tips to Prevent Future Loss

· Enable cloud backup (Google Photos, iCloud, or OneDrive).

· Regularly export important photos to an external drive or computer.

· Avoid saving critical photos only on internal storage.

Conclusion

Losing photos doesn’t have to be permanent. By using built-in trash folders, cloud backups, or reliable recovery apps, you can often recover deleted images quickly and safely. Taking a few preventive steps can also protect your memories and important files in the future.
