The other day, my best friend screams on the phone asking how to recover deleted photos from iPhone? Well! She had no clue, that she deleted a photo containing important information and needed it urgently. By the time she discovered that the photo is lost and she doesn’t have a backup/copy, she was going crazy with stress.

Though, iCloud and iTunes are the most viable options beyond the 29 days’ limit of the ‘Recently Deleted’ folder.
