Did you know that you can now recover deleted photos from your cell phone?

Well, yes! The apps listed below have been downloaded over 43 million times and offer optimal technology and efficiency.

In this article, we'll explore the three best apps for this.

DiskDigger – Recover Photos

My first experience with photo recovery was with DiskDigger, after I accidentally deleted an entire folder containing photos from my niece's birthday party.

I was cleaning out my old files, thinking everything was saved to Google Photos… and it wasn't.

DiskDigger was the first application I installed and, honestly, I didn't have much hope for it.

The application scans internal storage and SD card for unoverwritten files.

The magic happens: even if you delete a photo, the system does not delete the file immediately.

It simply marks that space as available, which means that by acting quickly you can still salvage a lot of stuff.

To use this app, simply download it from the App Store or Play Store.

PhotoRec:

I lost a bunch of old photos on an old SD card.

It wasn't a recent card, and the card wasn't even in my phone anymore.

It was a backup I thought was safe.

It's not a phone app, but a computer program, but it works great for recovering photos from SD cards, USB drives, or external hard drives.

The process is very simple (some would say “horrible”), and it just requires following a few steps carefully.

But if you don't mind that, it's worth it.

I connected the SD card to the computer, opened PhotoRec and let it scan.

Download this app and enjoy it.

iMobie PhoneRescue – Recover Photos

If you're using an iPhone, things change a bit.

Apple has a more closed system, making it difficult to use third-party apps directly on your phone.

That's when I discovered iMobie's PhoneRescue, when a friend deleted some honeymoon photos from his iPhone.

The responsibility to help him fell on me and I looked for the best solution.

PhoneRescue is a piece of software, but it's definitely worth it if you really need to recover something important.

It runs on your computer (Windows or Mac) and connects to your iPhone via cable.

Try this app and enjoy it.

Conclusion

Losing photos is frustrating, but it's not the end of the world.

Nowadays, with the right applications and programs, you can recover most of your lost files without needing to be a tech expert.

I almost became a "deleted file doctor" after so much experience!
