Some pictures transferred from a computer can be viewed in Photos but they can't be modified by Photos. Because of these pictures, there may be some operations that produce a warning about those being at risk. So if you're missing pictures were transferred from a computer, you should look on the computer. 


You can see this:

         If you're missing photos or videos in the Photos app - Apple Support

Basically the above says to look in Recently Deleted and in Hidden. Be sure to check your Library thoroughly-- the pictures may not be where you expect, as dates may have changed. You can use the search field with the date or location. And remember, you can sort the Library by date captured or by date added. Also, your Library view now has filters, and you may not have your filter set to "All Items’.


If you don't use iCloud Photos, but you have Settings>Apple ID>iCloud Backup turned on, then you may be able to recover data from the last 30 days or so. Unfortunately if you do use iCloud Photos, the backup doesn't also copy those. You should look here:

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support 

“Restore” is what you do when you buy a new phone, so this safety, if you have it set, requires you to erase everything on your phone and replace it with the backup.


If you don't keep your own backups to an external drive, then there really isn't any place else to look.

It is not possible to recover photos deleted over a month ago. If you have deleted photos in the last month that you want to restore, head into

  1. Photos
  2. Collections (at bottom)
  3. Tap three dots at top then Show All
  4. Scroll to Utilities
  5. Tap on Deleted
  6. Authenticate yourself
  7. Select photos to permanently delete or recover


Hope you find what you were aiming to restore 👍😀
