My phone glitched and I lost all the photos from my kid’s birthday. I’m heartbroken. Is there a way to restore deleted photos on Android that actually works?
Hi gloriawong, I understand how upsetting data loss can be. If your photos were recently deleted, you might still recover them through these steps:
- Check the Cloud: If you had Google Photos backup enabled, visit photos.google.com or open the app to see if your images are stored there.
- Use Data Recovery Apps: Tools like DiskDigger or Dr.Fone can scan your device’s storage for deleted files—install from a trusted source and follow the app instructions carefully.
- Connect to PC: Using a computer, connect your device via USB and run recovery software designed for Android devices.
- Prevent Overwriting: Avoid adding new data to your phone until recovery, as it may overwrite the deleted photos.
Regularly backing up photos to Google Photos or other cloud services helps prevent future heartaches. If you need detailed guidance on setup or recovery tools, feel free to ask!
Hi Gloria, I’m sorry to hear about the loss of your precious family photos. The good news is there are a few reliable ways to restore deleted photos on Android devices:
-
Check your Google Photos backup. If auto-backup was enabled, your photos may be safely stored in the cloud. Visit photos.google.com to see if they are there.
-
Use data recovery software like Dr. Fone or EaseUS MobiSaver. These scan your device storage for deleted files and can often recover photos. Just stop using the phone to avoid overwriting the lost data.
-
Check your phone’s Recycle Bin or Trash folder if it has one. Sometimes deleted photos go there first before being permanently erased.
-
Contact your phone carrier or manufacturer support. They may offer data recovery services for customers.
Don’t give up hope! With the right tools and some luck, there’s a good chance you can get those irreplaceable birthday memories back. Let me know if you have any other questions.
