"I deleted some photos by mistake. Can anyone tell me how to retrieve them?"
iCloud backup service and iCloud Photo Library is the ideal repository for iPhone users who like to take pictures. If you have iCloud enabled on your iPhone/iPad/iPod, then all your photos and videos will be stored in iCloud. You can view all these photos on different Apple devices by logging in with your Apple ID. So, you can restore all lost photos from iCloud to iPhone/iPad/iPod.
In this article, we will share with you several effective ways to download and retrieve deleted photos from iCloud.
Apple's iCloud is the most convenient way to sync and store photos. If you turn on iCloud on your iOS device, all photos will be automatically synced to your iCloud account. Deleted photos in iCloud will continue to be stored in the recycle bin for 30 days. You can find and restore deleted photos that you accidentally deleted less than 30 days through iCloud's Recently deleted folder.
The specific operation steps are as follows:
1. Go to the iCloud website and log in with the same iCloud account that your deleted photos. 2. On the left menu, select "Photos" and see the recently deleted option. 3. After selecting the recently deleted option, you can view the deleted photos. 4. Select the deleted photos and click the "Recover" button to complete the recovery.
If you can't find your mistakenly deleted photos in "Recently Deleted" in iCloud, you can try Geekersoft PhoneRescue to help you recover. This program will help you retrieve deleted photos from iCloud backup. Instead of doing a full restore first, it can help you scan and see if any of your lost photos are in your iCloud backup. This will greatly help you improve the efficiency of retrieving photos.
Here are the steps to retrieve undeleted photos from iCloud backup:

Step 5. On the pop-up interface, select "Photos" and then confirm to enter.
