Recover Deleted Photos – DS (DS Recovery) searches your phone for photos and pictures that were deleted, lost or hidden, and lets you restore them. No root and no computer are needed.

Recover your photos

Open DS Recovery and allow Access all files when asked (why this is needed).
Tap Photo recovery to start the scan. A deep scan can take several minutes on phones with many files.
Browse the results. Use the preview to find the photos you need.
Select them and tap Restore. They are saved again on your phone.

Act quickly: stop taking photos and installing apps until you have recovered your pictures. New files can overwrite the space where the deleted photos still are.

Videos, audio, documents and contacts

The free app focuses on photos and pictures. For more file types – videos, audio, documents and contact numbers – use DS Recovery PRO, which also has no ads.

Nothing found?

Photos that were already overwritten, or deleted before a factory reset, usually cannot be recovered by any app. Check your cloud backup (for example Google Photos Trash, which keeps deleted items for 60 days) as well.
