How to Recover Permanently Deleted Photos from iCloud

Accidentally deleted a photo from iCloud and can’t find it anywhere? Even if you’ve cleared your “Recently Deleted” album, there are still a few ways to try and get those precious images back. Here’s your complete guide to restoring permanently deleted photos from iCloud.

‍

CHECK ICLOUD RECOVERY WINDOW

Before you panic, remember:

• Photos deleted from iCloud stay in “Recently Deleted” for 30 days ⏳

• Go to iCloud.com > Photos > Recently Deleted to restore if you’re still within this timeframe

‍

AFTER 30 DAYS? TRY THESE METHODS

Missed the 30-day window? Try these options:

• Check Other Apple Devices: If you use iCloud Photos, copies might remain on another synced device that was offline at deletion 📱💻

• Look Through Shared Albums: If you ever shared those images, they might still be present in Shared Albums

• Restore an iCloud Backup: You can restore a previous backup (before images were deleted) to your iPhone, but this will overwrite your current data. Make a current backup first! – Go to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud > Manage Storage > Backups – Erase iPhone (Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone) and restore from the selected backup

‍

USE A PHOTO RECOVERY APP

When “Recently Deleted” and backups don’t have what you need, try specialized recovery software:

• Download the Photo Recovery app on your computer or iPhone

• Connect your device and run a deep scan 🔍 • Preview recovered images and select the ones you want restored

‍

WHAT IF NOTHING WORKS?

If your photos aren’t in any backups or on other devices, sadly, iCloud does not keep a secondary “trash.” Be proactive: • Regularly back up your photos somewhere other than iCloud (like Google Photos or an external drive) • Avoid permanent deletions by double-checking before emptying “Recently Deleted”

‍

SAVING NEW PHOTOS & PREVENTING FUTURE LOSS

Now’s the perfect time to set up a stronger backup habit! Enable automatic backup services and consider cloud alternatives for extra peace of mind.

Losing memories can be stressful, but by acting quickly and trying these steps, you improve your odds of getting them back.
