If you routinely perform iPhone backups on your PC, your photographs should be backed up, which implies you can recover lost pictures. Since you are recovering your whole iPhone from a backup, the photographs that re-show up on your iPhone are similar ones that were on your iPhone on the day that you backed up.

So first make a point to back up your new photographs elsewhere, on the off chance that you need to save them, before recovering from a past backup.

Now, to recover images from a backup on your computer, simply connect your iPhone with your computer, choose “Restore from this backup” in the summary tab, choose the backup, you want to recover and you’re done.

Recover Photos Using Third-party Apps

Rescuing your lost photos from iPhone can become extremely difficult if you have not made a backup of them. Due to extremely secure systems, it is a nail-biting job to figure out how you can get those precious memories back.

Is your heart racing? Hold on, as there is a solution.

Some third-party apps can help you get back your pictures and videos. People usually go for it if the images are very precious. 

This software is premium. Users pay a high price to use them. 

Some third-party applications have free trial periods that allow users to have a glimpse of the work before they invest in the money.

Curious? Let’s find out what those third-party apps are.

Dr.Fone

This application is available both for Windows and Mac computers. The software is free, but it has in-app purchases. Whenever the software detects that you have to recover deleted files from your iPhone memory, it will levy you a charge. 

MobiSaver

This app is quite a savior when it comes to recovering priceless photos and videos from your compromised iPhone. This app has a free trial version that gives a sneak-peak into the range of functionalities.

Users who download it can access the free trial version for some time. The free trial lets the user recover only a selected number of deleted photos beyond which the app starts charging.

The best part is that this third-party application can help recover contacts, messages, documents, along with photos. 

Recovering From iCloud

iCloud is like a storage repository for Apple devices. It is created with an Apple ID. Files present in the iCloud can be accessed from any computer running on any operating system.

If the photos taken in an iPhone are backed up in iCloud, the same can be restored anytime logging in to iCloud from another device.

But, what if you buy a new iPhone and want to get back your backed up data? You can do that in some easy steps.

• Since it involves a new iPhone or iPad, the user needs to configure it from scratch.
• It starts with the welcome screen, and the user is prompted to join a WiFi network.
• The Set-Up Device screen shows up, asking the user to restore an iCloud backup.
• When the user goes ahead, he or she can choose different backups that act as savepoints to stored data.
• The user needs to click on the recent backup and restore all media to the device.
• Apple ID and password are necessary to finish the backup and restoration process.

iCloud images can be separately viewed from the Photos App of your Macbook. Since the iCloud account of the iPhone and Macbook are in constant sync with one another, files from the iPhone can be viewed on the Mac.

Conclusion

Unlike other mobile OSs, recovering lost data on iPhone is tough without a backup file. So be wary before you turn off the automatic backup of data to iCloud.
