Have you ever gone to find a video on your iPhone and realized you deleted it? This can be a frustrating and worrying thing to deal with, especially if the video is important. While recovering a deleted file can be difficult, we've gathered 6 simple methods to get your deleted video back.
Ways to Get Deleted iPhone Videos Back
First, check your Recently Deleted and Hidden albums in your Photos app. If you don't see your video there, try checking iCloud to see if your phone uploaded the video during a recent sync. Otherwise, you can try checking your social media, texts, or emails if you sent the video to someone else or posted it online.

Tips
- Avoid programs that promise to recover your data. These programs are spammy at best, and could try to scam you out of money. Only download and use programs you trust, and look up unbiased reviews written by actual users of any program before you try it out.Thanks
Tips from our Readers
- Once your files are gone, they are gone unless they have been backed up or unless you can recover them from your recently deleted folder (which you can easily do yourself). Anyone trying to get you to pay them to recover your files is lying.
- I once deleted all my files on accident because I thought they would stay on the Cloud. Moral of the story: if you delete it from your phone it will delete from the Cloud too. Always back up your files!
