Part 1. Can You Recover Photos from iPhone without iCloud?

The answer is positive. Where do the deleted photos go on your iPhone? When you remove a photo from the Photos app, it does not delete permanently from your iPhone. Instead, the deleted photo comes into the Recently Deleted folder and stay there for up to 30 days.

Thus, when you find your photos are missing, the first thing you can do is to check the Recently Deleted folder. If you are lucky enough, you will recover photos from your iPhone without iCloud from the Recently Deleted folder.

However, if there is no photo in the Recently Deleted folder, the chances of recovery will depend. In general, if you stop using your iPhone and turn off the Wi-Fi and cellular data at once, you may recover lost iPhone photos with the help of the professional iPhone recovery software or from other backup locations like iTunes, Google Photos, etc.

But assume that you continue using your iPhone after data loss. In that case, the newly created data will overwrite the deleted photos. If you didn't back up your iPhone photos, you would never find them back in any way.

In other words, you'd better cease to use your iPhone and switch off the network connection once losing photos if you wish to get them back. Also, you need to back up your iPhone in daily use regularly.
