What you need to know first
⚠ Act now — every minute counts
Stop using your phone immediately. Every photo you take, every app you open, every update you install risks overwriting the deleted file permanently.
Put your phone down, turn on airplane mode, and follow the guide for your file type above.
📋 Why your files might still be there
When you delete a file, your phone marks that storage space as available — but the actual data stays exactly where it was until something new writes over it.
On Android, this recovery window can last weeks or even months depending on how actively you use your phone.
On iPhone, deleted photos stay in the Recently Deleted album for 30 days. Even after that, traces often remain in iCloud backup.
Recovery apps scan raw storage and find fragments that have not been overwritten yet. The scan is read-only — it cannot make things worse.
🔍 Before you use any app — check these first
1
Check your recently deleted folder
iPhone holds files for 30 days. Google Photos holds them for 60 days if backup is on. Always check here first.
2
Check your cloud backup
Google Photos, iCloud, Dropbox and Amazon Photos sync automatically. Your file may already be safe in the cloud.
3
Ask whoever you shared it with
If you shared the file via WhatsApp or iMessage, the recipient still has it. Ask them to forward it back.
4
Still nothing? Use the recovery guide
Choose your file type above and follow the free step-by-step guide. Apps show you results before restoring anything.
📱 Recovery works differently on each platform
Android gives better direct access. Recovery apps can scan internal storage at a deep level — finding files deleted days, weeks or even months ago. No computer required.
iPhone relies on backup data. iOS restricts direct storage access, so iPhone recovery works primarily through iCloud or iTunes backup. If backup was active before the deletion, recovery is very likely.
Both have a built-in safety net. Google Photos bin and iPhone’s Recently Deleted album give you a window to recover files without any third-party app. Always check these first.
Cloud sync is your best protection. If you had Google Photos, iCloud, Dropbox or Amazon Photos enabled before the deletion, your file almost certainly still exists in the cloud.
❌ What not to do after deleting files
Do not restart your phone. The boot process writes temporary files and can overwrite deleted data before you have had a chance to scan.
Do not take new photos or videos. Every new file saved potentially writes over the deleted data you are trying to recover.
Do not install apps from untrusted sources. Some fake recovery tools write nothing useful and may harm your device.
Do not wait. The recovery window is open right now. Every hour you delay reduces the amount of recoverable data.
