Recover Deleted Photos from Android Devices

Have you accidentally deleted some photos from your last vacations? Or maybe you made just one mistake and wipe everything in your Android gallery. Well, be sure that things like that happen all the time and the best part is that there are different methods for restoring deleted or lost photos from an Android phone or tablet. Here we have two of them as well, but in both cases there are some preparatory steps that you must take in consideration.

Before starting, we want to warn you that you must have USB Debugging enabled on your smartphone. In order to do that, don’t hesitate to go to Settings > About Phone and tap the Build Number repeatedly until you see a notification informing you that Developer Options have been enabled. Scroll through the settings until you see USB Debugging and don’t hesitate to check the box beside it.

Also make sure that you have installed the drivers on your computer or the procedure won’t work and don’t hesitate to check the battery percentage from your phone. You don’t want to see it turning off in the middle of the tutorial or even bricked due to such a thing.
