Many factors may cause photo loss on an iPad, such as accidental deletion, virus attack, iOS update failure, etc. With the development of technology in recent years, losing photos from an iPad without backup is no longer a nightmare. You can swiftly recover photos from the iPad without backup with the help of the two proven methods below.
Sure. Photos deleted from an iPad are not immediately permanently removed from the device. The system first moves them to the "Recently Deleted" folder, where they are kept for 30 days. Additionally, even if photos are no longer in the "Recently Deleted" folder, professional data recovery tools may still be able to scan the device's storage and recover permanently deleted photos.
However, the success of recovery depends on factors like the time elapsed since deletion, the device's usage, and whether new data has overwritten the deleted files. Therefore, the sooner you attempt data recovery after a loss, the higher the chances of success.
The easiest way to recover deleted photos from an iPad without backup is to check the "Recently Deleted" album on your iPad. Usually, the deleted photos and videos will stay there for up to 30 days. If you have never cleared up this album or they are not expired, you can retrieve the deleted photos with these steps.
How do I retrieve deleted photos from iPad without backup from the Recently Deleted folder?
Step 1. Open the iPad's Photos app, click the "Albums" tab, and tap the "Recently Deleted" album.
Step 2. Press "Select" at the upper-right corner, choose the photos you want to restore, and hit the "Recover" button.
When photos have already been emptied from the "Recently Deleted" album and you haven't made any iCloud or iTunes backups, the only way to recover them is by using third-party professional data recovery tools. iPad Photo Recovery is a powerful iOS data recovery software that can directly scan the iPad's system to recover deleted photos that have not yet been overwritten by new data.
