How to Get to Recently Deleted Photos on iPad
If you’ve accidentally deleted some photos from your iPad and are now wondering how to retrieve them, you’re in luck. Apple’s iOS operating system provides a handy feature called “Recently Deleted” that stores deleted photos for a short period of time before permanently deleting them. In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps to access your recently deleted photos on an iPad.
Step 1: Open the Photos App
The first step is to open the Photos app on your iPad. You can find the app icon on your home screen, which typically features a camera icon.
Step 2: Navigate to the Recently Deleted Album
Once the Photos app is open, you’ll see a series of tabs at the bottom of the screen. Tap on the “Albums” tab to view all your photo albums. Scroll down to the bottom of the list and you’ll find the “Recently Deleted” album. Tap on it to view the photos you’ve deleted.
Step 3: Browse and Select Deleted Photos
Inside the “Recently Deleted” album, you’ll see all the photos you’ve deleted in the past. You can browse through them and select the ones you want to recover. To select multiple photos, tap on the first photo, then swipe left on the second photo, and so on. Alternatively, you can tap the “Select” button in the upper-right corner and then tap on the photos you want to recover.
Step 4: Restore Deleted Photos
After selecting the photos you want to recover, tap the “Share” button (the box with an arrow) in the lower-left corner of the screen. Then, tap “Copy” to copy the selected photos to your clipboard. Next, open the Photos app on your iPad and navigate to the album where you want to restore the photos. Tap the “Edit” button in the upper-right corner, then tap “Paste” to paste the copied photos into the album.
Step 5: Confirm the Restoration
After pasting the photos into the desired album, tap “Done” to confirm the restoration. The selected photos will now be back in your iPad’s photo library.
Step 6: Empty the Recently Deleted Album
If you’re sure you’ve recovered all the photos you wanted, you can empty the “Recently Deleted” album to free up space on your iPad. To do this, tap the “Recently Deleted” album, then tap the “Select” button and choose “Delete All.” Confirm the deletion, and the album will be cleared.
By following these simple steps, you can easily access and recover recently deleted photos on your iPad. Remember that the “Recently Deleted” feature only stores photos for 30 days, so make sure to restore any important photos within that time frame.
