How to recover photos on Samsung Galaxy A72 via recycle bin

When you delete photos from a smartphone running Android, the files do not disappear without a trace. First, they end up in the so-called “Trash”, where they continue to be kept until the user decides to completely delete them. Therefore, Samsung Galaxy A72 users can try to recover photos from Recycle Bin:

1. Open the Standard Gallery or Google Photos (these are the two main applications for viewing images).
2. Launch the dialog and go to the Trash section.
3. Select the photos of interest and press the reset button.

Note that depending on the application and firmware version you are using, the storage period of your files may vary. Therefore, the completion of the operation cannot be 100% guaranteed.

How to recover photos on Samsung Galaxy A72 using a third party app

If the images were deleted from the Recycle Bin by the user or after the time period set by the developers has elapsed, Samsung Galaxy A72 still offers the option to recover the files. To do this, users will need to use special apps. For example, Diskdigger:

1. Download and install the application.
2. Start diskdigger.
3. Start searching for images.
4. Select the images of interest and press “Retrieve”.

When retrieved photos via third-party applications, you need to consider several things. For example, you probably won't be able to recover the full image. Most likely, its resolution will be comparable not to the actual image size, but at the screen resolution.
