Way 1: How to Find Deleted Photos on iPad from "Recently Deleted" Folder
In order to prevent users from accidentally deleting some important files or data, the iPad has a function similar to the recycle bin on the computer, called "Recently Deleted" folder, which stores recently deleted files. Apple stated that you would have a 30-day grace period during which you can go to the "Recently Deleted" folder to view the deleted photos and restore them to the camera roll with one click. (iPhone users can navigate to the page: How to get iPhone photos back from Recently Deleted album.)
How to find deleted photos on iPad from the Recently Deleted folder?
- Open the Photos app on your iPad.
- Go to Album > Other Albums > Scroll down to choose the "Recently Deleted" album.
- Tap on the "Select" option from the top right corner.
- Preview and select the pictures you want to recover by tapping on them.
- Tap on the "Recover" button in the bottom right corner to undelete iPad photos.
No deleted pictures can be found in the "Recently Deleted" folder. This may be because the 30-day recovery period has passed. If so, you can use third-party iPad photo recovery software mentioned in way 4 to recover permanently deleted photos from iPad.
