Some files can be accidentally deleted from our mobile. Be it an image, a video, a document or a contact, these files may come in handy to us one day, even if we have knowingly deleted them. Find out how to recover them if you have a smartphone with Android or iOS operating system.
If you have an Android mobile phone, the most convenient tool to recover deleted photos is Google Photos. These apps are usually pre-installed on your phone. Once you create an account for one of your apps, your smartphone will sync all your phone data (photos and videos) and save it.
If you accidentally deleted a photo, you can recover it from Trash, a folder where you can find all your deleted images and videos. The capacity of the folder is quite large and can support up to 1.5 GB of memory with media files. The most important thing to know is that these files will only be available for 60 days after they are deleted. Once the time expires, you will never be able to get them back, because they will be automatically destroyed by the app.
