How to Recover Screenshots Missing from iPhone Photos App

Missing screenshots from your iPhone’s Photos app can be confusing and frustrating — especially if you know you didn’t delete them. Whether they’ve disappeared after an update or you simply can’t find them, there are several smart ways to track down and restore your lost screenshots.

‍

CHECK THE “RECENTLY DELETED” AND “SCREENSHOTS” ALBUMS

Start by looking in the most likely spots:

• Open the Photos app 📱

• Tap “Albums” at the bottom

• Scroll to “Recents” and “Screenshots” — search here for your missing images

• Also check the “Recently Deleted” folder — you can restore anything here within 30 days 🕑

‍

SEARCH BY DATE OR KEYWORD

Use the Photos app’s search features:

• Tap “Search” (magnifying glass icon)

• Enter “screenshot” or search by the date you took the screenshot

• Check if your missing screenshots appear in the results 🔎

‍

LOOK IN ICLOUD PHOTOS

If you use iCloud Photos, syncing delays or issues might hide your screenshots:

• Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos

• Ensure “Sync this iPhone” is ON

• Visit iCloud.com, log in, and check the “Photos” section for missing screenshots ☁️

‍

TRY THE PHOTO RECOVERY APP

If screenshots are completely gone, a dedicated recovery tool may help:

• Download and install the Photo Recovery app from the App Store

• Run a targeted scan for screenshots (filter by file type, if possible)

• Preview and restore the files you need 🖼️

‍

PREVENT MISSING SCREENSHOTS IN FUTURE

• Regularly update your iOS for the latest bug fixes
