Recover photo accidentally deleted

On Android phone or tablet

Have you ever touched that bin by mistake when looking at a photo and then, maybe while being distracted, confirmed it? Here are a couple of methods to recover the photo on an Android phone or tablet, depending on how you deleted it.

Method 1

Go to Google photos then select Library on the bottom row, then you should see a Bin option at the top of the screen. Look in this bin to find your photo. If it is here then select it and tap on the Restore option.

Method 2

If the photo is not in the Google photos bin then it could be in the Recycle bin. Go to Gallery and tap the 3 lines at the bottom right then tap the recycle bin to see if your photo is here, again, select it and tap Restore.
