Get back a photo you deleted
Find a deleted photograph and put it back, for about a month afterwards.
Deleting a photograph moves it into an album called Recently Deleted, where it waits about thirty days.
Nothing is destroyed in that month, so the mistake everybody dreads has its own undo.
Key points
- Deleted photographs wait in Recently Deleted for about thirty days
- You can put any of them back yourself
What to remember
- Recently Deleted sits at the bottom of the album list.
- Delete means set aside for thirty days, not destroy.
Try this
Open Albums on your own phone and scroll to the bottom. Recently Deleted is there. Look inside.
