Way 2: Recover Deleted Photos from iPhone without Backup

Way 3: Recover Deleted iPhone Photos from iTunes Backup
If you fortunately create a backup in iTunes before deleting photos on your iPhone or iPad, you can easily restore your device from the backup to get lost photos back. Here’s how to do it:
