Smartphones are no longer just a communication tool. With the improvement of the camera in mobile phones, some people even without professional shooting skills have become photographers. We all know that photos taken with a mobile phone camera are saved and displayed in the photo gallery of an Android phone. But sometimes we may delete some photos by mistake, or because the SD card is formatted, the photos will be lost. So, can I restore gallery photos without backing up my Android photos?

The answer is yes. In today's article, I will detail four effective ways to recover deleted photos from Android Gallery for different situations. If you need it, stay tuned.

Once you accidentally delete photos stored in the Android Gallery, whether it is in the SD card or internal memory, please stop using the phone immediately.

That's why you should pick up the MobiKin Doctor for Android (with its Mac version), which is a professional Android data recovery tool to restore your lost Android gallery photos. It is simple and time saving. Just look at its main features as below:

• Scroll down the list to choose the "Backup & Reset" option and then tap on "LG Backup Service".
