Hey everyone! 😊 I'm looking for some guidance on getting back deleted photos from my iPhone. They've vanished from the 'Recently Deleted' folder. I have an iTunes backup stored on my Windows laptop that still contains those pictures. Is it feasible to restore this backup onto my phone and then sync those photos to iCloud? Also, can I later revert to my recent backup while ensuring the photos stay on my device? Any specific steps I need to take, or is there another workaround you recommend? Thanks a bunch for your help! 😀

Let’s be real, this might stem from not wanting to shell out 99 cents a month for iCloud. Honestly, iCloud is super user-friendly. Just keep your iPhone updated and connected to Wi-Fi overnight for backups. That small monthly fee can save you a lot of hassle if you lose your iPhone. You can easily sign into a new device and have everything restored! It’s all explained in this document about iCloud Photos, which can help with low storage issues too.
Just a heads up, if you have iCloud Photos enabled, your iTunes and iCloud backups won’t include those photos. You might want to check Apple’s support page for more details on this.
Good to know! Appreciate the tip!
I actually pay $2.99 for iCloud. It's not a storage issue, but thanks for your input!
