Android photo recovery, is it possible?
Whether through clumsy fingers or lack of attention we have all probably deleted the wrong photo by mistake. The one with your thumb over the lens remains but the perfect shot of that perfect moment has gone. What can be done? Is it possible to recovery deleted photos on Android? The answer rather depends on lots of factors, let me explainor click on the link below to watch it briefly.
Unlike the internal storage, the microSD card on your phone will use the FAT32 or the exFAT filesystem. These file systems are simpler than file systems like ext3, ext4 or NTFS (as used on Windows) which means it is actually easier to recovery lost files.
The way to recover data from a microSD card is to shutdown your Android smartphone, take out the card and insert it into a card reader either on a PC or on a MAC. There are loads of free programs out there that can recover data from SD cards. I would suggest you try Recuva and EaseUS Data Recovery. There are lots of alternatives if those two don’t work for you, but there are no guarantees.
Cloud backup
To avoid the problem of lost photos you really should be using a cloud backup solution. The principle is simple. Every photo and video clip that you take are uploaded to a storage server which you can access them from any of your devices including other Android smartphones (with the same account) or from the desktop (probably via a web browser).
Wrap-up
I can’t emphasize enough that since the file recovery process is based on the concept of finding deleted files in the free space then this process can be very hit and miss, and there are no guarantees. Having said that, the process can work well. In the past I have been able to recover over 90% of the files on a SD card. So if you have lost some photos it is worth a try, especially if they are on a memory card. If you need to root your phone to get the photos off the internal storage then you need to weigh-up the risks associated with that versus the importance of the photos.
To avoid having this problem again, you should make sure you backup your photos either by copying them off your phone and on to another device (like a laptop or desktop) or by using cloud backup.
