Published by David on
Have you ever lost that amazing photo by accident? Or suddenly your phone decided it was time for a hard reset and you were left without your precious memories?
Don't worry, I know how desperate it is to lose photos, but the good news is that technology is on our side.
Today, I'm going to talk about how Google can be your great ally in recovering these lost images. So, let's go!
Google Photos: Your Best Friend
First of all, if you don't already use Google Photos, go and install it! This application is a great help for those who constantly take photos and need a secure backup.
But more than that, it has some amazing functions for recovering images.
Google Photos Trash
Whenever you delete a photo on Google Photos, it doesn't disappear immediately. It goes in the trash and stays there for 60 days. That's right, you have two whole months to repent and get your images back.
Steps to recover photos from recycle bin:
- Open Google Photos on your mobile.
- Tap the three-line menu in the top left corner.
- Select "Trash".
- Find the photo you want to recover.
- Tap and hold the photo, then tap “Restore”.
That simple! Your photos will be back in the main gallery.
Google Drive: Smart Backup
If you are one of those who prefer to keep everything organized, Google Drive can be an excellent alternative.
Many don't know, but it is possible to configure your cell phone to automatically backup photos directly to Drive.
Recovery via Google Drive
To recover deleted photos from Google Drive, the process is very similar to that of Google Photos.
Steps for recovery:
- Open Google Drive on your phone or computer.
- Go to the “Trash” section.
- Find the photo you want to restore.
- Right-click the photo (on computer) or tap and hold (on cell phone) and select “Restore”.
Yes, Google thinks of everything!
Google Photos Assistant: Magic in the Palm of your Hand
Another super useful feature of Google Photos is the Assistant. It not only organizes your photos, but also suggests edits, creates albums, and can even detect duplicate photos. This can be a lifesaver if you're trying to organize everything after recovering your photos.
Tips for Using the Assistant
- Organize Albums: The wizard can suggest albums based on locations and dates. This makes it much easier to find that specific photo.
- Photo Editing: The wizard can suggest automatic edits that improve the quality of your recovered photos.
Third-Party Applications with Google Integration
In addition to Google's own applications, there are several third-party apps that integrate with Google Photos and Drive to make image recovery even easier.
dumpster
Dumpster is one of the most popular data recovery apps. It works like a recycle bin for your cell phone, storing everything you delete.
How to use Dumpster:
- Download and install Dumpster from the Google Play Store.
- Open the app and allow the necessary permissions.
- Whenever you delete a photo, it will be stored in Dumpster.
- To recover, open Dumpster, find the photo and restore.
DiskDigger
Another powerful app is DiskDigger. It is a little more technical, but extremely effective.
How to use DiskDigger:
- Download and install DiskDigger from the Google Play Store.
- Open the app and select the option to scan your device.
- The app will show a list of deleted files. Find the photo you want to recover.
- Select the photo and save it to your device or send it directly to Google Drive.
Losing photos can be a big shock, but with these tips and tools, you'll be well prepared for any digital emergency.
Always remember to keep regular backups and make the most of the features that Google and other apps offer. After all, the best way to not miss photos is to always be one step ahead!
