Recover Pictures on Your Android

We all take plenty of pictures on our phones and there are times when we go ahead and delete a few either to make space for more or maybe the pictures weren't good enough.

Whatever be the reason, there are times wherein we delete pictures by mistake and want to get them back. Well, if that's your problem, you need not worry as you could always retrieve lost data.

Do you own an Android?

Well, that's the question people ask - I've accidentally deleted photos on my Android Phone - is there a way to recover them? Well, as you know Android is just an operating system and not a special kind of phone - therefore, there's a way to recover pictures just as in the case of other mobiles.

Your pictures are originally either stored on your phone's internal memory, your sim card or your added memory. Therefore, before you decide to recover a picture, you should know where you stored it. It's not necessary; but, does make the task a lot simpler.

What actually happens?

Whenever you delete something from your Android Phone, whether it's a message, picture or something else; it's never permanently wiped off your phone. The data is actually stored until it's re-written upon.

Therefore, you should try to recover something the moment you realize that you're missing it. This would reduce the chances of you permanently losing it. The more you use your phone after you've deleted some data the harder would it be to recover this precious information.

If at all you don't know what needs to be done, it would be wise to contact someone who knows exactly what needs to be done. Until then, stay away from the phone as any small change that you make - even sending a message could over write the stored data.

Recovering the pictures

Recovering the pictures or any other data that you lost from your phone is possible; but, it's not an easy job if you've never done it before. All you need to do is get yourself card recovery software.

Note that most of these software aren't free and you would have to pay a small amount to buy them. If you're lucky you'd find an amazing piece of software that's got a free trial period - you'd find quite a few on the Android Store. The reader reads your phones memory and gives you a list of possible lost files. You could pick the one you need if it's still there.

Using most of the common photo recover software

Most of the photo recovery software work the same way, let's take a look at what needs to be done in most cases:

1. First and foremost you would need to connect your Android phone to your computer

2. Launch the Photo Recovery Software or App and you would then see a sort of removable media on the main control panel.

3. Once the software/App is launched make sure to begin a scan of all your images, music as well as videos.

4. After the scan is completed you would get a list of lost and deleted pictures, music as well as videos.

5. Pick the ones you wish to restore and hit the Recover button.

That's it! You could find plenty of free recovery software - they may not be totally free; but, if you don't need it often you could always get back what you need during the trial period.
