I agree with you. Deleted pictures in personal computer can be restored. But deleted pictures in the smartphone is deleted permanently.

It actually depends on the manner that they were stored and the app you used to delete them. Google photos stores the pictures temporarily in the trash before they are removed if not recovered after 60 days.

well, deleted photos on your smartphone can be easily restored. You can find apps that just work like recycle bin of your computer. When you delete, the deleted images/files are stored on the recycle bin, you can easily recover your deleted photos. Oppo phones have inbuilt recycle bin, deleted photos are stored for 30 days.

It does seem like a nice idea. But the problem with recycle bins is that they also occupy memory. And with phones having less storage than most computers, you'll still have to delete stuff on a regular basis.

Actually, we don’t have to wait for the near future to arrive because the technology is already available! There’s actually a lot of software out there dedicated to recovering deleted, corrupted, or otherwise lost files.

Everything from pictures, to music, to documents can be recovered after being deleted. This is because whenever you delete something, it isn’t actually deleted. There are still bits and pieces of data remaining on the hardware for a limited amount of time (until they’re replaced). There is software available that gathers these bits and pieces and recover your data for you.

Yay technology!

I very much agree with you on this about some dedicated softwares being in existence that can be used to recover any lost, deleted and corrupted files. But I'm definitely going to be very honest with you about where I have only seen it done which is in movies of CIA and DOD American movies. I don't think such softwares are readily available in the general market like Google play store or Apple store.

I’m familiar with different types of recovery software, but I’m not sure which is the best—at least not from personal experience. I did a quick Google search to find which free software was considering to be the best in 2018, and it seems to be a program called Recuva.

Apparently, it can restore files from hard drives, DVDs/CDs, memory cards, and external hard drives. It seems to have just about everything that anyone would need, all for free (and apparently some inexpensive features you can pay for).

I’ll be giving it a look if I ever accidentally delete anything.

I guess it would be possible if you have synced your phone or photos to any app that helps restore your photos. But, as of now, yes, I haven't found a smartphone that has a "recycle bin" feature like in the computers, nothing, as far as I know, but if there is, I would be glad to be enlightened.

Yes, it's likely the case. If people can hack your smartphone, then surely they can easily recover deleted files. It would be so basic to them. The public just often assumes that it can't be recovered. And they panic once they "accidentally" delete something important.

Seriously, if you compare what we see in movies to what we have possible in real life, it would seem like our current world is still 20 centuries behind the world in movies.

I think so. It's very easy for tech experts to recover lost and deleted files. The only exception would be if you did more than just delete them. Most of what we delete on our gadgets can be restored. We just don't normally need to since we deleted them in the first place.

In Samsung phones I think if you sync your pictures in your google account you will recover your pictures once you check your account in google ( I am not sure). In iphone, syncing your files in icloud is very important as long as you have enough storage room. In Iphone also if you delete your pictures you can still see it in one album (deleted images), after 30 days it will be deleted permanently.

Thankfully, Android system stores the thumbnail of each picture inside the gallery. In case you manually deleted your picture many apps can recover it however it will likely be a bit bit pixlated. Simply quickly as time doesn’t assist with recovering pictures. Many android apps available at Google Play each free and paid may have specific outcomes, a few apps would require Rooted devices other do not.

They can but only to a certain degree. I’m not entirely sure how the process works, but a degree of data is still stored on the phone even after a photo has been deleted. By using a program like Power Data Recovery, you can recover your photos but only within a limited amount of time.

Eventually as more information is added to your phone, the stored data is replaced and your pictures won’t be recoverable anymore, so it’s important to act fast if you want to retrieve any files you accidentally deleted. Also, if the phone has been formatted, there is zero chance of recovering any information, as far as I'm aware at least.

That is very true, we can recover our deleted pictures from the computers or laptops very easily. it is not very easy when one has to recover the deleted pics from the mobile phones. However if you have chosen the option of storing the pics to the Google drive along with your phone storage, then you may be able to restore them in your phone through the Google drive.

Depending on your smartphone, you can recover the photos. I am currently using tecno camon 7, and whenever I delete photos, a deleted recently folder gets created automatically. It is upon me to decide if I want to delete the photos forever.
Thus, you can recover depending on your device.

There is always that possibility to back up some of those files on cloud mode. So, when they are deleted from the mobile phone, you can easily recover them using that means. It is something that is easier to do in the long-term when you may have need for such pictures.

Well, it's pretty obvious that the best way to ensure that you don't lose your pictures finally would be to have them all backed up one way or another.

The pictures can be backed up on social media sites, Google drives and external hard drives. So, in the event of any damage to the device, all the pictures can easily be recovered.

I don't know about every phone, but my deleted items go to a "recently deleted" folder on my iPhone and they sit there for 30 days. As long as I get to them before that, it's fine. Usually when I'm deleting things I'm doing it deliberately rather than accidentally but if I do happen to accidentally hit delete I just go to the "recently deleted" folder and recover it.

The inability to restore deleted photos on a Smartphone is a actually a long time problem for smartphone users. That is actually why I guess Apple is making use of their cloud storage system in order for their users to still recover their files and stuff. On the other hand, I am actually a bit safe with this kind of problem because the Smartphone I'm using right now which is Oppo, actually has a feature like the Recycle bin which stores your deleted photos for 30 days on a dedicated file folder on your gallery. However, it's only for a limited time as I've stated and you must decide whether to keep the photos and store it on your cloud/other storage devices or let them be deleted completely after 30 days.

Jut because something is deleted doesn't mean it's gone for good. But you'd have to act fast, and find a shop where they specialize in taking apart mobile devices and then accessing the root data drive or chip. From there they might be able to recover your photo(s) depending on time of deletion. It'll be expensive though.
