How to Recover Photos from a Broken or Locked iPhone (Passcode Forgotten)

Dropped your iPhone, or forgotten your passcode, and now need to access important photos? Many people face this situation after an accident, screen failure, or too many passcode attempts. Luckily, you have several proven options for getting your photos back—even if you can’t unlock or use the device as normal.

‍

CHECK ICLOUD PHOTOS FIRST

If you had iCloud Photos enabled, your images might already be backed up:

• Go to iCloud.com and log in with your Apple ID from any device or computer 🌐

• Click on “Photos” to access your synced camera roll

• Download the photos you need directly from the browser 💾

‍

USE PHOTO RECOVERY APPS WITH A COMPUTER

If iCloud Photos wasn’t enabled, try connecting your iPhone to a PC or Mac:

• Download a reputable Photo Recovery app that supports locked or broken iPhones

• Connect your iPhone using a USB cable

• Most tools guide you to scan the device for recoverable images (some may require you to trust the computer if you haven’t before)

• Preview and export your photos to your computer for safekeeping 👩‍💻

‍

CHECK ITUNES OR FIND MY BACKUPS

You may have a full-device backup in iTunes or Finder:

• Open iTunes (PC and older Macs) or Finder (macOS Catalina or newer)

• If you have a recent backup, restore it to another iPhone or use third-party software to extract the backup’s photos

• Avoid restoring to the same device if it’s damaged or locked out

‍

VISIT AN APPLE STORE FOR HARDWARE HELP

If all else fails:

• Contact Apple Support or visit an Apple Store 🛠️

• They can assess your hardware and, if possible, help you recover your data

‍

AVOID FUTURE PHOTO LOSS

• Enable iCloud Photos for automatic backup in the future ☁️

• Regularly back up your iPhone using iCloud or iTunes

• Use trusted recovery apps to periodically archive important images

With these solutions, you have a high chance of retrieving your precious photos from a locked or broken iPhone—even with a forgotten passcode!
