Sometimes the deletion of images on an iPhone can completely erase an extremely important and cherished moment.  This can either occur through clumsy misuse of the touch screen or the purposeful deeds of someone who didn’t like the picture; either way the picture is long gone.    These helpful programs can recover photos from iPhone back up by tapping into the raw data on the storage drive of the iPhone. 

 

How it All Works

When something is deleted it is not actually deleted in the sense that that allocation of storage space is wiped clean; rather what happens is the operating system marks the sectors that the photo is placed as ready for overwriting.  While the photo is not normally accessible through the iPhone the raw data is still there, and with the help of recovery programs such as Wondershare the raw data can be read and restored.  This kind of software has been around for a long time and has been used primarily by law enforcement, government investigative bodies and private investigators only recently has it been available to the civilian market.  IPhone photo recovery software is now something anyone can buy and use.


 

The Limitations

Due to the fact that iPhone photo recovery software exploits how storage drive space has been marked for overwriting it cannot recover every picture.  The amount of storage space a user uses is what dictates how long a deleted photo will stay on an iPhone.  If storage space is always used to its maximum frequently the chances of recovering deleted photos on the iPhone are far less likely.  A good rule of thumb to make sure the deleted photos last longer is to use only up to 75% of the iPhone’s storage which will leave the raw data of an image on the storage drive for longer. Whether you’re clumsy or you have friends who are constantly deleting those hilarious and embarrassing pictures from a night on the town, having some form of iPhone recovery software is an extremely useful tool.
