Snapchat is a popular app that allows users to share photos and videos with self-destructing feature. Are you Snapchatter? Did you ever want to access and view the expired photos in Snapchat again?

If yes, then you will be happy to know that now you can do it. In this article, we’ll share you with a powerful Snapchat Recovery tool, helping you recover & save Snapchat photos and videos on iPhone/iPad in three easy modes.

Basic Tips to Find Deleted Snapchat Photos on iPhone

There are some things that we recommend you do before attempting to recover the deleted photos and videos. These include;

Option 1. Check “Recently Deleted” Album in Photos App

If you use your iPhone to take the photo that you share on Snapchat or if you save the photos in Snapchat to your iPhone, then the deleted photos may be available in the recently deleted folder in the Photos app.

All photos deleted from the Photos app will go to the “Recently Deleted” folder where they remain for 30 days and can be easily recovered. Use these steps to check if your photos are in this folder;

  1. Open the Photos app on your iPhone and tap “Album”.
  2. Under “Utilities”, tap on the “Recently Deleted” folder to open it.
  3. Tap “Select” to choose the photos you would like to recover.
  4. Then simply tap “Recover” and the photos will be restored to the main Photos album.

Option 2. Check the Memories in Snapchat

If there is nothing in the “Recently Deleted” folder, then we recommend checking “Memories” on Snapchat. This very popular feature allows users to save photos and videos from the Camera Roll. They can also be backed up, increasing the likelihood of recovery. Here’s how to check;

  • Open the Snapchat app from the home screen and go to the Camera screen. Swipe up to access “Memories.”
  • Tap and hold on to the photo that you want to recover and then tap “Export” from the menu options that appear at the bottom of the screen. Snapchat will download the selected photo and save it to the device.

Snapchat will send you an email in 48 hours that contains the data you requested. Just click on the link in the email to download the zip file and see if it contains the images and videos you wanted to recover.

Recover Snapchat Photos from iTunes Backup

If you have a backup of your iPhone in iTunes, then there is a strong possibility that your deleted Snapchat photos and videos are available in the backup. This means that you can simply restore the backup on your device to recover them.

But this method often involves deleting existing data on the iPhone, meaning that if you restore the backup, but it doesn’t have the photo and videos you are looking for, there is a strong likelihood that you may lose other types of data on the device.

But this is still a good solution if the backup is very recent. Here’s how to do it;

  1. Open iTunes and connect the iPhone to the computer using a data cable.
  2. Click on the iPhone’s icon at the top and then go to the Summary tab.
  3. Click “Restore Backup” and then choose the most recent backup file to use.
  4. Click “Restore” again and wait while iTunes restores the data on the device.

The following steps show you how you can restore an iCloud backup to your device;

  1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone and then tap on “General.” Select “Reset” and choose “Erase all Content and Settings.”
