Accidentally deleted pictures from iphone and how to restore?
Using OneDrive to restore deleted pictures from iPhone can be a viable option, but it depends on whether you had previously enabled the iCloud Photos feature and enabled the "iCloud Photo Library" option on your iPhone. This option allows you to store your iPhone photos in iCloud, which is then synced to OneDrive if you've set up the OneDrive app on your iPhone.
To restore deleted pictures from iPhone using OneDrive, follow these steps:
1. First, ensure that you have the OneDrive app installed on your iPhone and that you have enabled the "iCloud Photo Library" option on your iPhone. This allows your iPhone photos to be synced to iCloud and then to OneDrive.
2. Open the OneDrive app on your iPhone and sign in with your Microsoft account.
3. Navigate to the OneDrive folder on your iPhone where your photos are stored.
4. Check the "Deleted Files" section to see if your deleted photos are still available.
5. If your deleted photos are found in the "Deleted Files" section, select the ones you want to restore and choose the "Restore" option.
6. Once you've restored deleted pictures from iPhone, they will be available in the OneDrive app on your iPhone and synced across all devices connected to your OneDrive account.
Please note that you need to have the iCloud Photo Library feature enabled on your iPhone and have it set up to sync with OneDrive for this method to work. Additionally, the availability of deleted files in the OneDrive app may vary depending on the account type and the duration for which deleted files are kept.
