Accidentally deleting videos on an iPhone can be a distressing experience, especially if they hold sentimental value or are irreplaceable memories. Fortunately, there are several methods you can try to recover these lost moments. Here are seven ways to find and restore your deleted videos:

1. Check the Recently Deleted Album:

The first place to look for deleted videos is the “Recently Deleted” album in the Photos app. Videos that have been deleted remain here for 30 days before being permanently removed. Simply go to the album, select the videos you want to recover, and tap “Recover.”

2. Use an iCloud Backup:

If you’ve enabled iCloud backup, your videos might be saved there. To check, go to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud > Manage Storage > Backups. If you find a relevant backup, you may need to erase your iPhone and restore it from that backup.

3. Restore from an iTunes Backup:

Connect your iPhone to the computer you used to back up your data, open iTunes (or Finder on macOS Catalina or later), select your device, and click ‘Restore Backup.’ Be careful as this process will overwrite the existing data on your device.

4. Try Third-Party Recovery Tools:

There are various third-party applications available that can help recover deleted files from iPhones. They typically require a computer connection and can sometimes retrieve data without backups.

5. Contact Your Cloud Services:

If you use third-party cloud services for storing your media like Dropbox or Google Photos, check there for backups of your deleted videos.

6. Look in Other Apps:

Sometimes, videos are shared or saved through messaging apps or social media platforms. Check these apps to see if you’ve shared the video with someone else or have saved it within the app’s storage.

7. Seek Professional Help:

If all else fails and the data is extremely valuable, consider reaching out to a professional data recovery service that specializes in iOS devices.

Losing your treasured videos doesn’t always mean they’re gone forever. By trying these methods, there’s a possibility of retrieving what you’ve lost and holding onto those precious memories a little longer.
