This article will introduce you to four of the most commonly used methods for recovering deleted photos on Samsung phones, including the most straightforward ones like Gallery Trash, Samsung Cloud, and Google Photos.

How to retrieve deleted photos on Samsung? The Gallery app of Samsung phones has a "Trash" function, similar to the Recycle Bin on a computer, where deleted photos are temporarily stored. This is the most direct and simplest way to recover deleted photos by mistake on Samsung. To use the Trash, you should turn it on before deleting photos. [Open the "Gallery" app > "Menu" > "Settings" > "Recycle bin". In some models and software versions, you may find "Trash" instead of "Recycle bin".]
Then, follow these steps to undelete photos on Samsung:
Step 1. Open the "Gallery" app on your Samsung Galaxy S24.
Step 2. Tap the "Menu" icon. Select "Recycle Bin" or "Trash".
Step 3. Then, choose "Edit" and select "Restore" at the bottom.
Note: The deleted images will be retained in the Trash for 30 days before they are permanently deleted.
If your Trash has been cleaned up or more than 30 days have passed, you may need to seek help from professional photo recovery software.
