How To Recover Google Photos

Today, everyone captures videos and photos on their mobile phone to keep track of their lives. However, the memory of these mobile phones has proved a big problem. This is because the storage of the phone occupies an important part of the phone's memory. This is when cloud storage is useful. If you do not have phone memory, you can transfer data to your cloud storage. This mainly means that you will not have to delete the photos or videos from the phone. However, sometimes, you may end up accidentally deleting the photos. The methods to recover the photos are detailed below.

1. Recovering directly from the trash

With Google, Photos arrives at a site known as Trash. This is mainly to store the photos you are deleting. The photos are saved up to 60 days. This means that it will restore accidentally deleted photos in 60 days. The steps to recover are,

• Start the Google photo application on your mobile phone.

• Click on the Menu button indicated with three bars. Here you will find the Trash option. Select this and you will notice the photos you have deleted.

• Mark the photos you want to restore or recover.

• Now, touch the Recover option and the photos will be saved once more.

However, you cannot recover it from the Trash after completing 60 days. Also, if the photos are backed up and updated to Google Photos, you won't find them in the Trash even after you delete them.

3. Recovery on mobile phone

There are many alternatives available, but you must make sure you have chosen the safest one. Keep in mind that it's just about recovering the photos on your mobile phone. The steps to do this are,
