Lost all my baby photos when oldest son turned off family sharing, please help!
Solution 1:
I'll provide the best answer I can for now, as time may be of the essence here, but I would suggest that you provide your iPadOS version here also in case there are any differences between how it currently works and any older version you may be running. That being said:
- Open the Photos app.
- Tap "Albums".
- Tap "Recently Deleted".
- Tap "Select".
- Tap "Recover All".
- Tap "Recover [number] Items" to confirm.
Anything that was deleted within the last month should still be in there. If it's been longer than a month, you may be out of luck, unfortunately, but I would still encourage you to reach out to Apple Support in case there's anything at all they can do to help you, as it sounds like these are very important photos to you. If Apple Support also cannot help, there is software such as Disk Drill or other utilities you can try for recovering this data. Often these utilities come with a free trial period so you may not have to pay anything if you decide not to keep the software. There are also totally free recovery utilities but they may not be as user-friendly. Good luck!
