How to Recover Deleted Videos from iCloud That Aren’t in “Recently Deleted”

Accidentally deleted a video from iCloud Photos only to realize it’s no longer in the “Recently Deleted” album? Don’t lose hope! There are still effective ways to recover permanently deleted videos from iCloud even if the default recovery window has passed.

‍

CHECK OTHER APPLE DEVICES LINKED TO ICLOUD

Your video might still exist on devices that haven’t synced the deletion:

• Check iPads, Macs, or other iPhones connected to the same Apple ID 💻

• Turn off Wi-Fi or mobile data before powering on the device to prevent automatic syncing

• Look in the Photos app for the missing video (and save it externally before reconnecting)

‍

RESTORE FROM AN ICLOUD BACKUP (IF AVAILABLE)

If you regularly back up your iPhone or iPad to iCloud, restoration is possible:

• Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Manage Storage > Backups

• See if you have a backup from before the video was deleted 📆

• You’ll need to erase your device and restore from the chosen backup (Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Erase All Content and Settings)

• Complete the setup and choose the correct backup file to recover your lost videos

‍

TRY THE PHOTO RECOVERY APP WITH ICLOUD INTEGRATION

Advanced recovery apps can sometimes find videos not present in “Recently Deleted”:

• Download the Photo Recovery app from the App Store

• Sign in and connect your iCloud Photos account (if supported)

• Run a scan for lost or hidden video files 🎬

• Preview and restore videos directly to your device

‍

CONTACT APPLE SUPPORT

If your videos were precious and you’ve exhausted standard options:

• Visit Apple’s official support at support.apple.com

• Explain your scenario — occasionally, additional iCloud retention tools may be available via their support team 📞

‍

TIPS TO PREVENT FUTURE VIDEO LOSS

• Regularly back up your device to iCloud and/or a computer

• Download important videos to local storage or use third-party cloud platforms

• Avoid emptying “Recently Deleted” before double-checking all content

With these steps, you gain the best shot at recovering deleted iCloud videos — even when they don’t appear in “Recently Deleted.”
