How to Recover Photos and Videos After iOS Update on iPhone

Lost photos or videos after updating your iPhone to the latest iOS? This is a surprisingly common problem, but thankfully, there are reliable ways to retrieve your memories. Whether the update caused syncing issues, missing albums, or hidden media, here’s how you can get everything back quickly.

‍

CHECK THE PHOTOS APP AND “RECENTLY DELETED”

Start with the basics: • Open the Photos app and browse “Recents” and “Albums” 📱 • Scroll to “Recently Deleted” — you have 30 days to recover anything here! • Search for specific images using dates, keywords, or people 🔍

‍

ENSURE ICLOUD PHOTOS IS ENABLED

Sometimes after an update, iCloud Photos can get toggled off or stuck syncing: • Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos • Make sure “Sync this iPhone” is turned ON ☁️ • Connect to Wi-Fi and keep your phone on power for a few hours to prompt syncing • Visit iCloud.com from a computer to check if your missing media appears there

‍

TRY THE PHOTO RECOVERY APP FOR DEEP SCANS

If standard steps don’t recover your media: • Download the Photo Recovery app from the App Store • Run a full scan for deleted or hidden photos and videos • Preview and recover files directly to your photo library 🖼️

‍

CHECK OTHER APPLE DEVICES AND BACKUPS

If you use the same Apple ID elsewhere: • Look for missing media on your iPad, Mac, or older iPhone devices • If you’ve backed up with iCloud or iTunes before the update, consider restoring only photos with a backup extractor app

‍

PREVENT FUTURE LOSSES

• Back up to iCloud or your PC/Mac before major iOS updates • Regularly sync your Photos and enable “Save Originals” in iCloud settings • Avoid using storage cleaners that might delete photo caches

Don’t panic after an iOS update—these methods are your best chance to recover lost photos and videos and keep future updates stress-free!
