Q: Is there any tool to recover photos directly from iPhone on iOS 15?
You might have seen a few data recovery tools on the web claiming to perform direct data recovery on iOS 15. The truth is that as of now, no data recovery tool can recover data from any device running on iOS 15 directly.

That’s it, folks! Now when you know all the common ways to recover photos that disappeared from the iPhone after the update, you can easily overcome this issue. I followed the same drill after iOS 15 deleted my photos and got my lost content back. Go ahead and give these suggestions a try. To recover your data from an existing iCloud or iTunes backup, take Dr.Fone's assistance - Data Recovery (iOS). It is a highly reliable tool that will come in handy to you on numerous occasions.
Troubleshoot 1: Restart your iPhone
Sometimes the simplest solution can fix the most complicated of issues in an iPhone. If you have found your photos missing after the iOS 15 update, then consider restarting your device. If there is a minor issue with your iPhone, it will most likely be fixed with a simple restart.
For iPhone 8 and previous generation devices
- Press the Power (wake/sleep) button on your phone. For newer devices, it is located on the right side while it is on the top of the phone for previous models.
- Drag the power slider to confirm.
- Wait for a while as the device would be turned off. After a few seconds, hold the Power button again to restart your device. Release it once you see the Apple logo.
For iPhone 11 and later
- At the same time, press and hold the Side button and either of the Volume up/down buttons.

A while back, when I thought iOS 15 deleted my photos, I suffered from the same confusion. Thankfully, after resetting my iCloud account, I could access my photos back. You can do the same by following these suggestions:
1. Reset iCloud Photo Library
As you know, the iCloud Photo Library feature makes the iCloud sync happen across different devices. Go to your phone’s Settings > iCloud > Photos and turn off “iCloud Photo Library”. If you want to retain the photos that disappeared from the iPhone after the update, just reset this option. After that, please wait for a while, and turn it back again.
2. Enable cellular data
If you are trying to access the synced iCloud photos via cellular data, you should check these settings. Go to iCloud Photo settings and tap on “Cellular Data”. From here, you need to make sure the cellular data option is enabled. Otherwise, the syncing will only take place when your phone is connected to a Wifi network.
3. Manage your iCloud storage
The chances are that there could be a lack of free space on your iCloud account as well. To check this, go to your phone’s iCloud Store and tap on “Manage Storage”. From here, you can check how much free space is left. If you want, you can buy extra storage from here as well.
4. Reset your Apple ID
Başga hiç zat işlemeýän ýaly bolsa, Apple hasabyňyzy täzeden düzmegi göz öňünde tutuň. Telefonyňyzyň sazlamalaryna giriň, Apple hasabyňyza basyň we ondan çykyň. Ondan soň hasaby şahsyýet maglumatlaryňyz bilen gaýtadan giriň.

The “Recently Deleted” folder was first introduced in the iOS 8 update way back in 2014 and later upgraded with iOS 11. It is a dedicated folder in iPhone that temporarily keeps the photos you have deleted in the last 30 days. Therefore, if you have accidentally deleted your photos, you can recover them by visiting the “Recently Deleted” folder. The same approach can be implemented to retrieve iPhone photos from Camera Roll after the iOS 15 update.
- Unlock your device and go to its Albums. From here, you can view a “Recently Deleted” folder. Just tap on it.
- Here, you can view all the photos that were deleted in the last 30 days. Tap on the Select button to pick the photos you wish to recover.
- Once you have made the selections, you will get an option to either delete these photos permanently or recover them back to your phone. Tap on the “Recover” option.
- You will be asked to confirm your choice. Tap on the Recover button, which will also list the number of photos that would be restored.
That’s it! After that, all the selected photos will be recovered back to their source. Though, you should be a bit cautious and follow this approach early as the Recently Deleted folder can only store photos that have been deleted in the last 30 days. Once that duration is crossed, the photos will be deleted permanently from your device.
