I have an iPhone 16 pro max. I was attempting to enlarge the photo but hit the X in the corner of the picture by mistake. The picture disappeared instantaneously. Is there anyway of retrieving this photo which I had taken from within the journal so no copy exists elsewhere as far as I know.
iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 26
I am afraid, it is not possible to recover your photo. The "Recently Deleted" folder in the Journal.app allows us to recover deleted Journal entries, but not deleted photos. We can only recover the last version of an entry there, not an earlier version, where the photo has still be there.
See: Edit or delete a journal entry on iPhone - Apple Support (EG)
It will be safer, to take your photos using the Camera.app directly, so they will be saved to Photos, if a photo is important to you.

Look in the Recently Deleted album. Photos that are deleted are moved there for 30 days before they are permanently deleted from the iPhone. If you go in and empty it before the 30 days they are gone.
No, this is a photo taken from within the Journal which do not appear with the photos taken by the regular photo app.
i think no
i inadvertently deleted a journal photo. is it possible to retrieve it ?
