As far as smartphones are concerned, iPhone surely gets a notch high! Perhaps iPhones are high end and chosen for their style quotient, but they can get really frustrating when it comes to sufficient memory space. More often, users delete data (particularly photos and videos), in order to create adequate storage space. While iPhones don’t support external memory storage, it requires you to remove redundant data. However, this should be done a bit cautiously. Having said this, users often primarily hit to the photos library to clear up junk. Along with large files, sometimes they delete the important ones too. The good news is that you can recover these photos and videos. In this blog we are going to share with you the steps on how to Recover Permanently Deleted Videos and Photos from iPhone 5s/ 6/ 6s/ SE/ 7/ 7 Plus/x and other versions.
The best part? They are extremely easy to follow. So let’s have a look at them.
So How can you Tackle this Issue?
Primarily, you should keep a backup of your data on iCloud before you head to removing any of them. This will help you recover permanently deleted photos and videos on your iPhones.
Upon deleting any file, it goes to another self-created folder and clings there for a certain time period. You can find this folder in your Photos Library. However, this folder keeps your files only for the first 30 days, thereafter it automatically deletes them.
