The good news is that there are ways to retrieve recently deleted videos on your iPhone. In this article, we will guide you through the process of recovering deleted videos using various methods.
Method 1: Using the Recently Deleted Folder
The first and simplest method to retrieve recently deleted videos on your iPhone is by checking the Recently Deleted folder. This folder stores deleted photos, videos, and other media for a limited period before permanently deleting them.
1. Open the Photos app on your iPhone.
2. Tap the “Albums” tab at the bottom of the screen.
3. Scroll down and select the “Recently Deleted” album.
4. You will see all the deleted videos here. Tap on the video you want to recover.
5. Tap the “Share” button (the box with an arrow pointing upwards) and then tap “Copy.”
6. Go to the album where you want to save the recovered video, such as “Camera Roll” or a custom album.
7. Tap the “+” button to create a new photo or video, and then paste the video from the clipboard.
Method 2: Using a Third-Party Data Recovery App
If the Recently Deleted folder doesn’t have the video you’re looking for, you can try using a third-party data recovery app. These apps can scan your iPhone for deleted videos and recover them. Here’s how to do it:
1. Download and install a reputable data recovery app from the App Store, such as Dr. Fone or iMyFone D-Back.
2. Open the app and connect your iPhone to your computer.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to put your iPhone in recovery mode.
4. The app will scan your iPhone for deleted videos. Once the scan is complete, you will see a list of recoverable videos.
5. Select the video you want to recover and tap the “Recover” button.
6. Choose a location on your computer to save the recovered video.
Method 3: Using iTunes Backup
If you have backed up your iPhone to iTunes, you can recover deleted videos from the backup file. Here’s how to do it:
1. Connect your iPhone to your computer and open iTunes.
2. Select your iPhone from the list of devices on the left sidebar.
3. Click on the “Summary” tab and then click “Restore Backup.”
4. Choose a backup file that contains the deleted video. Note that restoring a backup will erase all data on your iPhone, so make sure you have a recent backup.
5. Click “Restore” to begin the process. This may take some time, depending on the size of the backup.
