How to Recover Photos from a Locked iPhone Without Passcode

Locked out of your iPhone and urgently need to recover your photos? Whether you've forgotten your passcode or your device is disabled, there are still effective ways to retrieve your precious memories—especially if you act quickly! Here’s your best guide for recovering photos from a locked iPhone without a passcode.

‍

CHECK IF ICLOUD PHOTOS IS ENABLED

If you had iCloud Photos enabled before the lockout, your pictures might already be saved in the cloud:

• On a computer or another device, go to iCloud.com and sign in with your Apple ID ☁️

• Click on “Photos” to browse, search, and download images safely

• If you’re using “Shared Albums,” check them for group or family photos too

‍

USE A TRUSTED COMPUTER

Have you previously synced the iPhone with a computer and “trusted” it?

• Connect the iPhone to the computer it’s usually synced with (Mac or PC) 💻

• Open the Photos or Image Capture app (on Mac), or Windows Explorer (on PC)

• If prompted on the iPhone to “Trust This Computer,” you must unlock the device; if not prompted and the phone connects, you can import photos

• Save the imported images directly to your computer

‍

TRY A PROFESSIONAL PHOTO RECOVERY APP

When iCloud and local sync aren't available, try a recovery tool designed for locked iPhones:

• Download the Photo Recovery app on your computer

• Connect your locked iPhone via USB and let the app detect your device

• Start a scan—advanced apps can often retrieve photos from a locked device (if it’s recognized and not fully erased) 🔍

• Preview and recover your images safely

‍

RESTORE FROM BACKUP (IF UNLOCKING ISN'T POSSIBLE)

If you’re forced to erase your device (after forgetting the passcode), you can restore photos from a previous backup:

• On another iOS device, go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Erase All Content and Settings

• At setup, choose “Restore from iCloud Backup” or “Restore from iTunes Backup” 📦

• Your photos will be restored if they were included in the backup

‍

PREVENT FUTURE PHOTO LOSS

• Set up Face ID or Touch ID for easy unlocking in the future

• Enable regular iCloud backups and periodically sync to a trusted computer 🔄

Being locked out of your iPhone doesn’t have to mean losing your memories. Act quickly and use these methods to recover your important photos!
