Has it ever happened to you to delete from the photo gallery some absurd images that you receive on WhatsApp and delete a photo that does interest you by accident? Although generally all Gallery applications ask for confirmation, we may inadvertently delete the wrong photo. Or maybe at that time we did want to delete it, but then we need to recover it. For whatever reason, today we are going to tell you how to recover deleted photos on an Android mobile.
As you may already know, Google's operating system has no way to recover deleted photos. It is possible that if the terminal you use has a customization layer with a trash can, the deleted photos will go to it before disappearing completely. But it is not usual. So we are going to have to use the complete collection of applications in the Play Store to find an application that allows us to recover the photos.
If we do a search in the Play Store, dozens of applications will appear for this purpose. However, the vast majority of these applications do not deliver what they promise. And those that do have very special conditions. What we can tell you is that the more time that passes since we have deleted the photo, the fewer options we will have to recover it.
So we 've done an exhaustive search on the Play Store and tested the top-rated apps. The truth is that they all have some buts, so we are going to tell you what some of them offer us and what limitations they have.
The best applications to recover deleted photos on your Android mobile
One of the applications to recover deleted photos from the Play Store is DigDeep. It appears in the app store as " Recover Deleted Images " and has been developed by GreatStuffApps.
The application is totally infested with advertising and sometimes it is really annoying. But at least it is simple to use and does its job, most of the time. We will not be able to recover all the photos that we have deleted over time, but some of the most recent ones.
In addition, its interface is very visual. All we have to do is select the folder where we think the deleted image was and see it appears. If it is there, we will only have to select it and click on "Restore".
Another application that we have tested is Photo Recovery. It is much more "friendly" than DigDeep since, although it has advertising, it is not so intrusive.
Its use is really simple. We just have to click on "Start recovering photos" and wait a few seconds. Once the search is finished, the photos will appear. The problem is that this application shows us the photos one by one. And one by one we must select if we want to recover it or not, which is much slower than having the images available at a glance.
The last application that we bring you is also called Photo Recovery, although in the Play Store you will find it as "Image recovery: deleted photos". It is a Gkohaku application.
Its use is also very simple. We will simply have to click on "Quick analysis" or "In-depth analysis", as we prefer. Obviously the in-depth analysis will offer the option of recovering a greater number of photos. Once located, they will appear in the form of a folder, as happened in DigDeep.
We must warn you that these applications are quite limited, so do not expect miracles. In addition, they all have a rather annoying problem, and that is that they mix the photos that we currently have on the device with the deleted ones, which makes the search much more difficult.
