Recover deleted photos and videos
If you automatically back up photos to your Google account, you have some time to recover deleted items.
When you delete a photo or video, it’s moved to the Trash in the Gallery app for several weeks, before being
deleted forever.
To recover a photo or video:
1.
Open the Gallery app.
2. Tap Library > Trash.
3. Touch & hold the photo or video.
4. Tap Restore.
If you don’t back up photos to your Google account, to maximize use of your phone’s internal storage
space, there’s no undo. Once you delete something from your phone’s storage, it’s gone. You can try using
a third-party app to recover recently deleted photos or videos.
