Recover
Dear Apple Support Team,
I hope you can help me. I recently bought a new iPhone and made all the necessary backups. Everything was fully downloaded and visible on my new device — all my photos were there, including around 70,000 pictures.
However, something unexpected happened. Around 5,000 photos were suddenly marked as deleted. I did not notice this in time, and I accidentally removed them from the “Recently Deleted” folder as well. I am absolutely sure I did not delete these photos intentionally.
These 5,000 photos are extremely important to me — many of them are from my daughter’s concerts and special moments. Some of the photos remained, but a large portion disappeared, and I am devastated.
I kindly and urgently ask you to help me recover these permanently deleted photos. This situation happened by mistake, and I am hoping there is still a way to restore them from your side.
Thank you very much for your understanding and support.
I truly appreciate any help you can provide.
I am truly begging you — if there has ever been a case where you were able to recover permanently deleted photos, and if there is any way you can help me restore these 5,000 pictures, I would be deeply grateful. You cannot imagine how important these photos are to me.
I have been keeping all my memories in iCloud since 2012–2013, and losing them so suddenly has been incredibly painful. I have not been able to sleep for several days because of this.
Please, please help me if it is at all possible.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
iPhone 17 Pro Max
