You'll have to...

  1. Back Up: your iPhone to a computer
  2. Restore: to your iCloud Backup
  3. Export: these photos in the Photos app
  4. Restore: you iPhone form the backup you just created in step one.


Troubleshooting Lost Photos:


Five Things to Try:

A. Start here: If you're Missing Photos or Videos in the Photos app - Apple Support


B. Check "Recently Deleted":

For iOS16 and later, you can tap "Recently Deleted", and see if they are shown there.


C. Check iCloud, Directly:

For Photos: Go here, and see if they reside in iCloudhttps://www.icloud.com/photos


D. Restore your iPhone from a Backup:

Have any backups of this iPhone prior to this occurrence? If so, restore your iPhone from one that has these photos (the most recent backup, ideally). If not, then take this as a learning experience, knowing to always back up your device for recovery purposes. Important: Back up you iPhone prior to performing this restoration, should anything go wrong from here on out.


E. Where Else to Check:

  1. PC
  2. PDA
  3. eMail
  4. Mac Device
  5. Cloud Storage
  6. Android Phone
  7. USB Flash Drive
  8. External Hard drive
  9. Secure Digital Card
  10. Compact Flash Card
