Similar questions like this are filled with different forums and communities. We always delete videos unexpectedly. Is there any possible to get them back? What should we do? No worry. Here’re two solutions for iPhone video recovery.


Two Ways to Recover Deleted Videos from iPhone

Actually deleted files still remain on the phone but hidden. It is possible to restore deleted files unless they are overwritten by other data.

Solution one: restore deleted videos directly from iPhone

Although designs of software vary greatly, the principles and steps to recover deleted iPhone video are similar. Almost all of them work like below: download and install app—connect iPhone to pc—scan and analyze phone—preview and recover deleted videos.

Solution two: extract from iTunes backup

If you continue to use the iPhone which the deleted videos are off, you may be disappointed for iPhone data recovery failure by the first method. This is because files may be overwritten and then hard to be recovered. Here, let’s take Softtote iTunes Recovery for Mac as an example.
