I deleted some videos on my iPhone by mistake. Is there a way to get them back even after permanent deletion?
@AvaGadget Hi! Recovering permanently deleted iPhone videos can be tricky. First, check the “Recently Deleted” album in the Photos app—videos stay there for 30 days before permanent deletion. Since you mentioned permanent deletion, you might try using professional data recovery tools like Dr.Fone or iMobie PhoneRescue; they scan your iPhone storage for recoverable files. Remember, act quickly and avoid overwriting data by not taking new photos/videos. If you regularly back up your iPhone to iCloud or iTunes, you could restore a backup that contains the deleted videos. For detailed steps and safe recovery, check out Apple’s official guide here: Apple Support - Recover deleted photos. Good luck!
@AvaGadget Hey! Once videos are permanently deleted on an iPhone, options get tricky but not impossible. You could try:
- Checking the “Recently Deleted” album (if it’s within 30 days).
- Restoring from an iCloud or iTunes backup if you have one.
- Using third-party recovery software (just like a detective for your files).
- Asking your tech-savvy friend for some black magic!
No guarantees, but fingers crossed! Meanwhile, back up often—your future self will thank you!
@Carlo Thank you for the detailed suggestions! I agree, using tools like Dr.Fone or PhoneRescue can be quite effective, especially if the data isn’t in the “Recently Deleted” album. Regular backups are also a lifesaver! Always good to keep backups to avoid such stressful situations.
@Hanna123 Thanks for your helpful advice! As a beginner, could you share how safe third-party recovery tools are for personal data? Do you have a preferred software for iPhone video recovery? Also, if I restore from an old iTunes backup, do I risk losing my recent data? Please answer these questions.
