Apple adds new album to iPhone gallery to recover lost photos
With iOS 18, iPhone users will get an update to the Photos app – an album with photos and videos that were once thought to be lost.
We are talking about media that was lost due to database corruption, incorrectly saved in the library, or made using third-party programs.
How to recover photos on iPhone?
- Open the Photos app and tap Albums
- Select the Recovered album
- Click Delete permanently or Restore to library.
The new option will also be available for Mac and iPad users with iPadOS 18 and macOS Sequoia.
After installing the update, devices will automatically scan for recoverable photos or videos to provide instant access to lost content.
Earlier, users complained about an unusual bug that restores long-deleted photos. Apple later reported that this was due to a database corruption issue and released a fix.
The beta versions of iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia are now available for developers and public beta testers. The updates will be available to the public this fall.
