Restoring deleted files from an iPhone

Recovering deleted files from iPhone can be a difficult task, but there are several methods that you can try.

1. iCloud: If you have enabled the backup function via iCloud and you have been making regular backups of data to your iCloud account, it may be possible to restore deleted files from the last backup. To do this, you need to go to the settings of your iPhone -> [your name] -> “iCloud” -> “Manage storage” or “Storage”, and then select applications or data to restore.

2. iTunes: If you used the iTunes program to create a backup copy of data with your iPhone before it was deleted, you can also try to restore the file through this program.
– Connect your iPhone to your computer and launch iTunes.
– Select the device (iPhone) in the window that appears
– In the "Miscellaneous" section, find the "Restore" button, then follow the instructions

3. Third-party software: There are many third-party assistant programs designed to scan an iOS device and help the user recover deleted files. Some of them include Dr.Fone, iMobie PhoneRescue and Tenorshare UltData.

It is important to note that the chances of successful recovery depend on different factors: the time elapsed from the moment the file was deleted to the start of the process of its revival; using the device after data loss (the more you use your iPhone after the incident, the more difficult it will be to recover data); as well as other circumstances.
Therefore, it is recommended to proceed with information recovery as soon as possible or it is desirable to make backups systematically to prevent this type of error.
