I accidentally deleted an important video on my iPhone 13 Pro Max and it's not showing up in the Recently Deleted folder. I've tried downloading several apps to recover it but had no luck. I do have iCloud storage, and I've been told that I might be able to get help at the Apple Store, but I'm starting to feel it's a lost cause. Any suggestions on how to retrieve my video would be greatly appreciated!

It’s good to back things up regularly! Remember, with Apple, you have 30 days after deletion before things are permanently gone. If it's been less than that, there might still be a chance to recover it. Also, if you've synced your photos with Google Photos, you might want to check there too.
Unfortunately, if it's not in the Recently Deleted folder, it’s likely gone for good. That’s a tough situation. I recommend checking to see if you have any backups on iCloud or your local computer. That’s usually the best shot at getting back lost files.
I do have iCloud backups, but I can't seem to find an option to restore from a specific backup date. Any tips?
Definitely utilize both iCloud and Google Photos for redundancy! Just keep in mind that if a video is deleted from your iPhone, it won't appear in iCloud if you don’t have a previous backup. That’s why regular backups are crucial.
Can I really back up to both iCloud and Google at the same time? I had no idea!
