How can you recover permanently deleted photos on an iPhone?

Recovering permanently deleted photos on an iPhone can be challenging, but there are a few methods you can try:

1. Check the Recently Deleted Album:
   • Go to the Photos app.
   • Navigate to Albums > Recently Deleted.
   • If your photos are there, select them and tap Recover.
2. Restore from an iCloud Backup:
   • Ensure you have an iCloud backup that predates the deletion.
   • Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
   • Set up your iPhone again and choose to restore from the iCloud backup.
     Note: This will overwrite your current data with the backup.
3. Use iTunes or Finder Backup:
   • Connect your iPhone to your computer.
   • Open iTunes (or Finder on macOS Catalina and later).
   • Restore your iPhone from the backup that contains your photos.
4. Third-Party Recovery Tools:
   • Use software like Dr.Fone, iMobie PhoneRescue, or Disk Drill.
   • These tools scan your device or iCloud backup for recoverable photos.
5. Contact Apple Support:
   • If none of the above methods work, Apple Support might provide additional assistance.

Limitations:

Once photos are permanently deleted and are not in any backup, recovery may not be possible. Regular backups are crucial to prevent data loss.
