Your collection of favorite pictures on the iPhone just got deleted accidentally while your kid played on your iPhone. Now what? Are they gone forever? Or is there a possibility of getting them back? You’re in luck. Here’s how…

The iPhone’s storage is just like the computer’s hard drive. Deleted file space is just reassigned as available, so it gets overwritten later. Until then you’re pictures are still present on the drive and you can probably recover them if you do it right away.

One possibility is you can recover them from the iPhone backup. This must be done before you sync your iPhone with iTunes. The sync process will update the iPhone backup as the very first step so once you sync it this method won’t work.

If you synced it, then the backup has changed. In this case you can use some software tools to recover the images. Use the iphone backup extractor tool or the iphone photo recovery tool.
