How To Recover Deleted Photos Android [3 Easy Steps]
As we have already said, there are many different ways that you follow to recover deleted photos of your android phone. Here we’ve included some ways with step by step instructions that you can follow:
1. Check The Recycle Bin
Most of us go crazy whenever we delete important pictures from our phones. And we also forget that there is an option named recycle bin (different phones have different names) that allows restoring photos even after deleting them.
However, most of the recycle bins or trash come with a limited storing duration, such as 30 to 90 days. After a certain time, the trash or recycle bin will automatically delete the photos.
And if you have just deleted some photos, then follow the steps below to recover them:
- Go to the “Gallery” option on your phone
- Then you’ll see a lot of folders and scroll down below
- The recycle bin or trash should be on the bottom side
- Launch the recycle bin folder and select the photos you want to recover
Note: See, you can easily recover your deleted photos through your phone’s recycle bin. However, here you can select individual photos as well as select all the photos to restore them.
2. Use The Google Photos
The Recycle Bin or Trash option is only available if you haven’t deleted photos from the Recycle Bin as well. However, what about wiping the photos from the recycle bin too? Can you still recover them?
Fortunately, Yes you can. If you have Google Photo installed on your phone as well as enabled the “backup & sync” facility, you can easily recover the deleted photos.
Google Photos is Google’s premier photo storage and sharing app which is free. So how are you gonna recover the deleted photos from your Google Photos? Simply follow the steps below to get an instruction:
Step: 1 – Open the Google Photos app from your device
