Things You Should Know Before Recovering iPhone Photos

In iPhone, the data is stored in the SQL database. When you delete something from your phone, it changes from “Allocated” to “Unallocated” data. Only the data’s identification tag changes when it is deleted. But when you continue to use your iPhone and save any new data, it will overwrite the previous data, which is in the “Unallocated” state.

So, if you want to recover lost data, you should make sure that you don't use it anymore, because when you take new pictures or continue to use your devce, the new data will replace the deleted data and there will be little to no chance of recovering them.

For now in the market, there is no totally free iPhone photo recovery app. Luckily there are some tools with free trial version you can use before purchasing.

1. Open iTunes on your computer.

2. Connect your iPhone using the USB cable to the computer. Enter password if prompted.

4. Choose “Restore Backup” under Backups. Update your iPhone if you get a message saying the software is very old.

5. Select the latest backup and click Restore. After the Restore finishes, all the data including photos will be restored.

Note

• Restoring the iTunes backup will overwrite the existing data on your iPhone. That's to say, iTunes restore will overwrite all of the data, and you have no choice but to give up existing data on your devices.
• In addition to that you can not preview or selectively choose the specific photo, so you will not know whether it contains the photo you need until you perform the restore.

Way 2: Restore iPhone Photos from iCloud Backup for Free

1. Open Settings and go to “Apps & Data” on your device. Tap on “Restore from iCloud Backup”.

2. Sign into your iCloud account with Apple ID and password. Make sure the Wi-Fi network is stable.

• It will also replace all the current data on your iPhone with the data from your last iCloud backup. So you will bear the risk of losing your existing photo while trying to recover your previous data.

While you can restore the phone from official iTunes and iCloud backups, you need to create a backup of all your data in advance. To use iCloud, your device must be connected to the Wi-Fi network and the free storage is only about 5GB.

Using the free iPhone data recovery tool, you can recover the lost photos even if you have not created a backup.
