Among the most value files and data that we keep on our mobile devices are photos and videos.There are many people who no longer use cameras and take their photos with the mobile, and most leave them there until we start suffering memory problems on our device.However, there are times when, whether accidentally or for other reasons, we end up deleting files that we later want to recover.

Digital photos are usually stored in the internal memory of our phone, SD card, computer or external hard drive.However, these storage and units means have a limited useful life depending on their use.In addition, they can corrupt at any time by the attack of a virus or a hacker, or for a bad maintenance.It may also be that we have formatted the device by mistake, losing important files for us.

Surely many think that, once deleted, a photo or video cannot be recovered.But that is not exactly true.There are some solutions that allow us to recover this type of files.Next, we review how to recover photos and videos on iPhone and Android.

How to recover photos and videos from iPhone

To recover files that we have accidentally eliminated on an iPhone, the solutions offered by Apple can help us.We just have to go to ICloud or iTunes backup and restore lost documents.However, this entails an inconvenience, because to recover the photos like that, we will replace our current data on the iPhone.

If we do not want to lose our current data and we just want to recover the lost files, the application Data Recovery for iPhone is the most advisable option.This software also works when we cannot restore the lost data of iTunes or Icloud.

Stellar Data Recovery gives us three recovery options: "Recover from iPhone", "Recover from the iTunes backup" and "recover from the ICloud backup".We can select and recover only the desired content instead of restoring all the unwanted data of iPhone, iTunes or Icloud.

This software works independently of the iPhone version that we are using and is compatible with the latest version of iOS.In addition, it is easy to use, fast and safe to download.

Another useful application to recover lost photos and videos is dr.Fone, which can be downloaded in Wondershare.com.This tool allows us to recover photos, videos, notes, contacts and even the WhatsApp conversations history.

To do this we must install and execute the application and connect the iPhone or iPad.From the app we will start the session in iTunes or ICloud to recover the files.Next, DR.Fone will make a scan of the device and show us on a list all the deleted files you find.We will only have to select the files that interest us and click on recovering.

Recover files on Android

In Android we run more risks of losing data, although as in the iPhone, if we maintain a backup we can recover them easily.The photos can be saved in a backup on Google Photos, Dropbox or any other unit or cloud storage.If we lose them, we just have to restore this data from there.

If it does not work, we can resort to the same appointed app, Stellar Recovery for Android.ESTL Android data recovery software can restore photos, videos, contacts, messages and history of deleted calls, etc..

The software recovers its lost data from both the internal memory of the Android phone and the external SD card.

Also the DR application.FONE has an Android version, compatible with more than 6000 devices and brands such as Samsung, Motorola, Google, LG, Sony and others.

To use dr.Fone on Android, we have to open the program on the computer and select "recovery".Next, we will have to connect the device to the PC and select the files we want.After a few minutes of scanning the recovered files will appear.We will only have to select those that interest us and click on “Recover.
